absolutley lethal.. I normally struggle to catch well in August,, but this little beauty took 6 ( 4 returned) out of Swinsty the other week.One fishing blind through the ripples where the inlet is, three from covering the rises in the inlet pools, and 2 in casting out into the general body of the dam. ie, all water conditions...fished on a dry line, longish leader, slow retrieve, so probably 2-3 foot deep. Brilliant !!
I fish this fly in large Derbyshire reservoirs for rainbow trout and it has litteraly never failed to produce a fish for me. Excellent pattern, lovely quality too.
