Fished well on the Bow River during summer. The beaded hackle added a natural look and the weight helped it sink properly. Caught several trout in the afternoon with this pattern.
Lily Lawrence –
Good for tailwater fishing. The brown and tan colors matched the natural insects well. A bit heavier than expected, but that worked in the current.
Colin Paterson –
Used this fly during a late summer trip. It stayed on the water longer and attracted fish that weren’t biting on other patterns. Highly recommended for Southern Alberta tailwaters.
