Used this fly in a quiet pond during early spring. The red and black stripes looked very natural, and I caught several trout within the first hour. The sink rate was fast and consistent, which helped me cover more water efficiently.
Joanne Allan –
Good imitation of midge larvae. The fly sank quickly and stayed on the bottom. I used it in a slow-moving stream and saw a few strikes, though not as many as with some other patterns.
Thomas Pullman –
Highly effective in stillwater fishing. The zebra pattern stands out in the water, and the bead head ensures it reaches the deeper zones where trout are feeding. A reliable choice for midge season.
Sebastian Jackson –
Felt solid and well-made. The hook size 18 fits well on my rod tip. I used it in a lake with low visibility and still got some bites. Would recommend for early season stillwater fishing.
