Film Critic

The Film Critic, designed by Bob Quigley, is an emerger pattern that effectively imitates mayflies at their most vulnerable stage—emerging from nymph to dun. Its design allows the body to hang below the surface film, while the hackle and forward-tilted wing simulate a dun's ready-for-flight profile, making it particularly effective in fooling selective trout feeding on emergers.

Add a dropper fly 6-9” below, the RS2 works well in smaller sizes to catch trout feeding on emergers as well.
