Stephanie Ross –
This fly has been a game-changer in my stillwater fishing. The way it moves in the water mimics a real leech, and I’ve had several aggressive takes. Works well in both clear and murky water. Highly recommended.
Audrey Piper –
I’ve used this pattern on a few different rivers and it consistently draws fish in. The black color stands out well, and the action is smooth and natural. A solid addition to my fly box.
Piers Welch –
Fished it during a late spring trip and caught two trout within 30 minutes. The fly’s movement is realistic and triggers strikes even when the water is still. Great quality and durable.
