Madeleine Lewis –
Used this nymph during a midge hatch on a lake in central BC. The gills and shiny underbody made it look very realistic. Trout took it immediately. A solid choice for stillwater fishing.
Olivia MacDonald –
Fished this pattern on a quiet lake in the interior. It worked well during the peak midge season. The ribbed underbody helped it float naturally and attract strikes.
Stephen Hudson –
Great detail on the gill and body. I’ve used it in several lakes and it consistently gets bites when midges are active. Highly recommended for BC waters.
