Description
The Madam X, conceived by Doug Swisher in Southwestern Montana during the 1980s, has become a versatile and effective fly pattern. Initially designed to imitate hoppers and large stoneflies, the Madam X has proven its adaptability, finding success in mimicking cicadas, dragonflies, crickets, and various other larger insects.
Pro Tip
Active Presentation: Incorporate slight twitches during the drift to mimic the erratic movements of terrestrial insects, enticing opportunistic strikes from fish.
