Hands down one of the best mayfly emergers in the game, the Film Critic shines on technical waters, especially spring creeks. It represents a hatching mayfly at its most vulnerable stage, giving trout an easy meal. Tied on a scud hook for added realism, with a tail that looks identical to an empty body casing as the insect emerges. A segmented body and forward-facing poly wing provide an accurate silhouette, and the top hackle of the thorax keeps this fly riding in the surface film.

The Film Critic ranks high in our Top Blue-Winged Olive Flies!
