This fly has worked well in both lakes and coastal areas. The brass eyes keep it light and float naturally, which helps when fishing near the surface. I’ve used it on Bluegill and small bass and it’s been catching consistently.
Edward Avery –
Great versatility. I tied it in red and black and it caught a Tiger Muskie in a slow-moving river. The action is smooth and it stays in the right spot without sinking too fast.
Gordon Quinn –
Used it in a saltwater bay and caught several bonefish. The fly floats well and stays visible, which is perfect for targeting fish that stay near the surface.
