The pattern’s versatility allows it to work effectively in various water conditions and presentations, making it an excellent choice for different fishing situations. The combination of crystal wing and parachute design provides both visibility and natural presentation that triggers strikes from selective trout.

For maximum effectiveness, present this pattern near grassy banks and structure where natural hoppers would typically fall into the water. The pattern’s durable construction maintains effectiveness even after multiple strikes, while its realistic profile ensures consistent action throughout the drift.
