Very effective fly when nymphing faster water above a pool and shallow swifter runs between pools. Works well fished across and downstream as well in deep pools. I use a lot of soft hackles when double nymphing. The soft hackle being the last fly in a double nymph rig setup. I've used it in trout streams of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and also in Montana. Also makes a good fall pattern for Lake Superior steelhead. You can add lead wrap or bead head for added weight.
Great fly! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put up the video of it! Look forward to tying it. LD
