Fishing Tips

Use a dead drift presentation, allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current.
When to Use
Use when fish are feeding subsurface, especially in heavily-pressured waters.
Water Type
Effective in both still and moving waters.
Rigging Suggestions
Can be fished alone or in tandem with a smaller nymph pattern.
Visibility & Floatation
This fly sinks well and its vivid colors make it highly visible underwater. The tungsten bead adds weight and helps the fly sink faster.
