Caught several trout on the Trinity River using this fly. The bright wings stand out in the current and fish are quick to take it. A reliable pattern for dry fly fishing in clear streams.

This is a classic West Coast pattern. The beadhead adds stability and the color contrast draws fish in. I’ve used it in multiple rivers and it performs consistently.

Good action and visibility. A bit more expensive than other patterns, but worth it for its effectiveness in open water conditions.
