Brandon Coleman –
Used this midge during a winter trip in a cold tailwater stream. The small size and natural profile made a big difference. Trout took it right away, even when other flies were ignored. A reliable choice for cold water conditions.
Jessica Parsons –
Felt like a perfect match for the tiny insects in the stream. The black color stood out well in low light, and the fly moved naturally in the water. Good for targeting selective trout in winter.
Andrea Thomson –
This fly worked exceptionally well in a technical tailwater with strong current. The precision design helped it stay natural and attracted fish that were otherwise ignoring larger patterns.
