James Blake –
Used this fly during a late spring hatch and got multiple strikes. The black color and realistic shape matched the pupae perfectly. Trout were actively feeding, and it worked even when the dries weren’t working.
Sean Pullman –
Highly recommended for caddis hatch times. The fly moves naturally in the water and triggers feeding responses. I’ve used it in both still and moving water with consistent success.
Pippa Ball –
Good imitation of emerging pupae. A bit more delicate than expected, but still effective when presented correctly. Works well in moderate current conditions.
Carl Cornish –
This is a classic fly that delivers in the right conditions. I tied it myself and noticed the detail in the profile matches the natural emergence. Great for targeting selective trout.
Carol Rampling –
Felt solid and well-made. The black color stands out in the surface film. Used it during a weak hatch and saw some bites, though not as many as during strong hatches.
