Zoe Rees –
Caught several grayling on a cold spring morning using this fly. The pink tail stood out in the current and they were quick to take it. Works great on a French leader with a jig head.
Melanie Baker –
Fished it on a river with mixed species and got bites from both grayling and trout. The barbless hook made it easy to retrieve and didn’t snag the line.
Lillian Cornish –
Good color and floats well in the water. A bit more sensitive than expected, but effective when the current is slow.
