    Fishing Tips
    Tis fly is most effective on cold winter days days when the fishing is slow on large or small stillwaters, retrive it with a slow figure eight retrive with a few jerky pulls now and again. I have caught most of my fish on this fly and I hope you have the same enjoyment out of it as I did.
