Description

THE FLY This crossover between two of our most popular flies, Pahtakorva and Nasty Banana, has proven to be just as effective as expected. It's a superb pattern for both coloured and gin-clear rivers. We fish them in various sizes, from big and fat 10 cm to more sparsely tied smaller versions. The spey-like ostrich hackle gives this fly an extra sexy swimming look. Few crossbreeds have so quickly proven to be so incredibly good. The Bastard may be a bastard, but it's a bloody good one! FEATURES – Medium broad profile – Tungsten 1/2 turbo cone – M FITS tubing for fixed hook – Balanced modern swimmer – Beautiful drop form – Synthetic jungle cock

Field Notes

This is a modern salmon/steelhead-style streamer for both colored and clear rivers. Fish it on a swung presentation or with active strips to make the ostrich hackle pulse and swim. The tungsten turbo cone helps it get down and track well in moving water.

Pros

  • Balanced swimmer with a lively profile
  • Works in both stained and clear water
  • Tungsten cone helps it sink and track

Cons

  • Likely best on heavier fly tackle
  • Not ideal for very shallow water
