What type of water conditions is this fly best for?

This fly works well in both still and moving water, especially when fish are feeding on eggs.

How often should I replace the fly?

Troubleshooting

Fly is not sinking.

Ensure a sharp hook set to improve chances of hooking the fish due to the barbless design.
