From Niklaus:
“Some days when pike fly fishing, the difference between succeeding or not can be to fish a fly extremely slow that also stays 100% suspending in the stops. That’s why Niklaus Bauer created the original “Hover Fly” more than 10 years ago – a great pattern that has caught a lot of big fish but it hasn’t gotten too much attention in recent years. It was time to make the Hover Fly 2.0.”
