This fly performs well in slow-moving streams. The marabou gives it a great wobble, and the tail adds a natural flutter. I’ve caught several trout with it during early spring.

A faithful reproduction of Mike Schmidt’s original design. The movement is realistic and it’s easy to tie. Works well in riffles and eddies.

I’ve used this pattern for several seasons now. It’s durable, looks authentic, and catches fish consistently in clear water.
