This fly will change your euro nymphing game. When in doubt on fly selection, fish this bad little fly. It has been very effective for me, and everyone else is saying the same. This is a very versatile pattern that can be used in nearly every fishing situation you come across. You can tight line it on the euro rod, fish it off a tag under an indicator, or fish it as a dropper under a dry. There are endless color combinations and options for making this fly a staple in your box. Changing thread, bead color, and krystal flash color will dictate what the fly imitates. It's also worth mixing up the flashback & dubbing to add a different color hot spot. Word is spreading about this fly and I couldn't be more excited.
