Field Notes

This is a baitfish-imitating fly for stripping through the water column around feeding fish. It works well when predators are keyed on small forage and you want a fly with lots of movement and a wider profile. Best presented with active retrieves in open water or along edges where baitfish are present.

Pros

  • Strong baitfish imitation
  • Lots of movement
  • Versatile for many saltwater species

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish want a tiny or subtle fly
  • May be too large for small trout
