Used this fly in shallow mangroves and caught several barra. The chartreuse color stood out, and the soft landing made it easy to place close to structure. Fish took it right away without spooking.
Amy Mitchell –
Great for tight spots. The horizontal swim keeps it in the zone longer. A bit light, but perfect for casting into dense cover. Fish were responsive and easy to hook.
Sam King –
Fished in coastal areas with mixed conditions. The marabou tail moved naturally and attracted barra consistently. Works well in low visibility too.
