Used this fly in a quiet pond this morning and got several trout strikes. The zebra stripes stand out in the water and the bead head sinks fast. Great for early season fishing.
Matt Roberts –
Felt the fly moved naturally in the current. The slender body and ribbing look authentic. Sank quickly and triggered a few bites in a slow-moving stream.
Nicholas Graham –
Perfect for imitating midge larvae. The olive color blends well with the water, and the zebra pattern catches the light just right. Caught a large trout with it today.
Jonathan Rutherford –
Works well in both still and slightly moving water. The hook size is appropriate and the fly holds well on the line. Slightly more expensive but worth it for the realism.

One of the most effective nymphs I’ve used. The bead head ensures it reaches the bottom quickly. Trout reacted immediately when I presented it.
