I used this fly on a river in S Idaho twice in the last month . I used it with a Black copper john dropper 25'' below with a very small split shot 3'' above the C.J. I landed some really nice fish both rainbows and browns . The two largest (browns) i lost as i was landing them . I bought some bad fluorocarbon that would separate like string cheese .. I lost some really nice fish before i noticed it was bad .. Never had fluorocarbon do that even some many years old . ?? Most of the fish took the dropper but i had 5 nice rainbows and one brown take the dry . This fly really floats well and very easy to see . It has a hollow plastic ball on top .

Pardon the dumb question but is the hollow plastic ball primarily for floatation or visibility :question: The fly certainly has enough floatation built in to keep it high and dry without the it.... :confused:

Probably both... nothing like a foam fly that packs it's own "thingamabobber" on it's back. That thing is a hi-viz pack-mule!

Yep it has a plastic thingamabobber tied into it .

With the small split shot and copper john i need both the foam and thingamabobber .
