Used this fly on a quiet lake in the morning and caught two trout within 30 minutes. The zebra stripes stood out in the water and the bead head sank fast. Great for stillwater fishing.
Lisa Cornish –
Fished in a slow-moving pond and saw consistent strikes. The slender body and ribbing look very natural. Works well with a 20 hook size and is easy to tie on.
Jacob McLean –
Good imitation of midge larvae. The sink rate is fast and the color stands out in clear water. A bit more expensive than basic patterns, but effective.
Claire Slater –
Perfect for early season fishing when trout are feeding on midge larvae. The red zebra pattern is very visible and the fly stays on the bottom without floating.
