Fish eat this fly as a stonefly nymph, mayfly nymph, and really any other type of nymph that's present in the river system.

Designed by Stewart Foxall, this fly targets steelhead, salmon, and trout that might shy away from larger, bulkier patterns.

Cast it down and across the current and keep a tight line as it sweeps across the run. The current will do the work and make the materials dance.
