This fly performs well in both still and moving water. I’ve used it during early morning and late afternoon when trout are most active. It holds up well in the current and attracts fish consistently.

A reliable pattern for wet fly fishing. Works especially well when fished above a midge. The straggle helps it stay visible and appealing to fish.
