This fly performs well in both lakes and coastal waters. The scale tail gives it a realistic appearance and it casts smoothly. I’ve used it on pike and it caught a large fish during a late summer trip.
Virginia Graham –
The design is solid and the hook holds well. It’s a bit heavy for small streams, but effective in open water. The large eyes help with visibility when fishing in murky conditions.

Great quality and well-made. The scale tail flash is very noticeable and the fly casts true. I’ve used it on saltwater pike and it worked well in strong currents.
