Used this fly in a quiet pond this morning and got several strikes. The red zebra pattern stands out in the water and the bead head sinks fast. Great for early season fishing.

Felt the fly moved naturally in the water. The zebra stripes are clear and the hook size is perfect for small trout in stillwater. A solid addition to my nymph collection.
Nathan Langdon –
Caught a large trout using this pattern in a slow-moving lake. The sinking action and realistic design made a big difference in my success rate.
Ian Baker –
Works well in low-light conditions. The red color stands out and the bead head keeps the fly down quickly. Slightly more expensive but worth it for the realism.
