Used this fly during a morning trout session on a slow-moving stream. The CDC added a lot of movement and the natural body made it look realistic. The black bead helped it sink quickly, and I caught two fish within 15 minutes.
Piers Bower –
Felt like a solid backup pattern when my main imitations didn’t work. The CDC gave it a good buzz that fish responded to, especially in cooler water conditions.

Great for when you’re fishing in low visibility. The natural color and CDC combination made it stand out without looking artificial. The bead helps it get down fast, which is perfect for deep pools.
