Key points
- High Buoyancy. Tied with closed-cell foam and synthetic wing materials, allowing it to float high even when supporting heavy weighted nymph droppers.
- Opportunistic Attraction. Very effective for freestone Westslope Cutthroat Trout which readily rise to large, flash-loaded surface targets .
- When & Where. Peak use is mid-June through August on fast freestone rivers such as the Elk River and St. Mary River during stonefly hatches and terrestrial season .
Imitates
- Stoneflies (adult)
- Terrestrials (Hoppers, Ants, Beetles) (grasshoppers)
