Used this fly during a spring hatch and caught two trout on the first cast. The black color and realistic shape made it stand out in the surface film. Works well when dries aren’t working.
Jasmine Short –
A reliable emergent fly that mimics the natural behavior of caddis pupae. I’ve used it in multiple streams and it consistently produces strikes during surface hatches.
Boris Knox –
Good quality and matches the description. A bit more expensive than other emergers, but the performance is worth it when targeting selective trout.
Maria Hill –
Fished in a cold, clear stream and got a solid strike on the third cast. The hook size 16 is perfect for the water conditions and the fly moved naturally.
Wanda Sanderson –
Works well in moderate hatches. The black color stands out in the surface film and the fly feels natural when fished with a slow retrieve.
