Film Critic

Clone

A low-profile emerger that sits right in the surface film, imitating a mayfly struggling to break free from its nymphal shuck. The trailing shuck of Z-Lon and sparse CDC wing provide a realistic profile that fools educated trout during heavy BWO and PMD hatches on technical waters.
