Description

This fly came as an evolution of the Amber Wing Prince and Dark Lord as well as the Birds Nest and Hares Ear. It works great as a caddis attractor and general attractors. For me it came to be guiding on the Lower Sac and Lower Yuba for trout. I like it in sizes 14-16 during most caddis hatches and even down to 18 for some of the smaller caddis. This pattern is available for US shipping only.

Field Notes

A caddis-attractor nymph pattern for trout, especially during caddis hatches or when fish want a general subsurface attractor. The size range noted makes it useful as a point fly or dropper in smaller to medium rivers, including the Lower Sac and Lower Yuba style water mentioned in the listing.

Pros

  • Versatile attractor profile for trout
  • Good during caddis hatches
  • Works in multiple sizes from 14 to 18

Cons

  • Not a match-the-hatch specialist
  • May be less effective when trout are keyed tightly to one exact insect
