The first time I met Will in the shop, he recommended this fly for my first outing on the Rogue. This fly is relatively small, but the bead is heavy enough to get the job done in the deeper slots fish will hold in.
After working here for a year, I moved back to Montana for a bit and brought a half dozen of these back home with me. The cool thing about this pattern is that it was equally productive for trout that it was for steelhead, which makes it a must have in the box!
