Nice looking fly.

How do you fish them? Never figured out if they are meant to be fished static or pulled?

Cheers Dan

cast into an area where trout are smashing into fry and stunning them, leave static and wait for the fish to mop up the stunned fish

Mainly fish it by casting it into the fry feeding action areas.
Then giving it a sharp pull then long pause or twitched back all depends on the day.
Hopefull hang on tight.

Cheers Craig

Looks like a killer pattern, very nice. Thanks also for all the tips on using it, never tried one myself.
