Field Notes

This is a large baitfish-style fly for aggressive predators that key on bigger forage. Fish it with fast strips, pauses, and erratic retrieves around structure, current seams, or open-water bait schools. The rattle version can help in stained water or low-light conditions.

Pros

  • Durable baitfish profile for toothy fish
  • Available in standard or rattle version
  • Good match for aggressive stripping retrieves

Cons

  • Large size may be too much for smaller fish
  • Not ideal for delicate presentations
