Bob Quigley's Film Critic - PMD - 16

This pattern is deadly on the most selective of situations on spring creeks, tail waters, lakes and placid pools. It’s no secret among long time hatch fisherman that we have developed a more educated trout in water that is receiving ever more angling pressure--tie on a Film Critic and see how educated they really are. The pattern has an emerging shedding shuck look to the tail that adds even more realism for selective trout.

Aside from greater visibility and flotation the stacked hackle and forward wing suggests a mayfly escapement ready for flight but is hung in the film hence the name.
