Fished it on a quiet lake this morning and got a solid strike. The foam body moves naturally and the Krystal Flash tail adds good flash in the water. Works well with a sink tip. Great for stillwater conditions.
Robert Lawrence –
The light and dark versions are both effective. I used it in a tailwater and saw several fish take the dip and bob action. Tied locally in Calgary, which adds to the authenticity of the pattern.

This fly is a reliable choice for stillwater fishing. The movement mimics a natural insect, and the foam body holds up well in still water. I’ve used it with a small streamer and had good results.
