This fly performs well in clear streams. The UV flash catches the trout’s attention and they take it consistently. I’ve used it in both wet fly and tag setups and it’s reliable in the current.

The design is accurate and the UV detail is noticeable. It’s a good choice for hatching caddis season. A bit delicate, so handle with care when storing.

I caught several trout using this fly in a freestone stream. The shimmer helps it stand out in the water, and it’s easy to tie and use in various presentations.
