Note: A very heavy pattern for deep presentation,best when
you strip it slow with short pulls.I prefer to pull the streamers and damsel patterns with both hands while the rod is fixed between your arm and body.It takes some practice,but you can move the fly without stops and it is exciting to feel a strike in your hands.
