This is one of the most deadly patterns used during the last three years. There is little doubt that it should be included in a fly box. In a river it is fished dead drift, however fish will take it on end swing. As a lake pattern the fly is fished with a slow retrieve, with slight jerks or variations. Carry the fly down by using a fly line with a good sink rate.
