Used this fly on a cold spring stream and caught several trout. The tungsten bead helps it sink fast and stay steady in the current. Works well as a dropper under a foam hopper.
Justin Manning –
Great for deep water fishing. The thin body and tungsten head make it easy to get down to the bottom. Caught a bass on a single fly rig in a clear lake.
Hannah Alsop –
Solid performance in both trout and panfish situations. A bit heavy for very light currents, but overall reliable and effective.
Ruth Poole –
Perfect for freestone rivers. The fly stays on the strike zone and doesn’t float. Caught multiple fish in a single session with no adjustments.
Stewart Springer –
Works well in nymph patterns. Slightly more expensive than basic flies, but the performance justifies the cost in tough conditions.
