Note: This fly is excellent in the early season or when getting deep is important. The weight of the eyes helps it to get down to the fish’s level. Fish it using typical wet fly techniques, the Leisenring Lift, or like a jig, making the fly form little arches in the water. The trout love it, and it’s taken many trout for me in the early season.
