Fished this fly during a Green Drake hatch on a cold spring morning. The rubber legs gave it a natural wobble on the surface, and my brown took it immediately. Very convincing and effective in a picky situation.

Used this pattern on a high-altitude lake where trout were selective. The fly stayed on the surface and didn’t sink too fast. Caught two fish in under 30 minutes. Great detail and movement.
