Fishing Tips
Season
This fly is most effective during the early spring and fall seasons when trout are typically feeding.
Presentation
Dead drift it like a nymph under an indicator, or swing it through runs.
When to Use
Use it during high water or runoff periods when worms are likely to be washed into the stream.
Water Type
Best suited for moving water.
Rigging Suggestions
Consider pairing it with a smaller nymph on a tandem rig for best results.
Visibility & Floatation
This fly sinks and is not very visible due to its size and color. The bead helps get it down quickly to the feeding zone.
