When trout start looking up during early spring, the Plan B Skwala is exactly what its name suggests—your reliable backup plan when fish get picky during the Skwala hatch. Designed to imitate the adult Skwala stonefly, this pattern features a realistic silhouette, buoyant body, and high-visibility profile that makes it easy to track in rough water. The Plan B Skwala excels during the legendary Skwala hatch on Western Montana rivers, including the Bitterroot, where big trout cruise the banks looking for struggling stoneflies. Its durable construction and balanced profile allow it to float well even when paired with a dropper. Whether you're fishing tight to the bank, along grassy edges, or in soft seams, the Plan B Skwala consistently produces aggressive dry-fly eats.
