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

A balanced streamer pattern for swinging or stripping in rivers, especially when fish are keyed on baitfish-style profiles. The description calls out both colored and gin-clear water, so it can be fished in a range of visibility conditions with a steady retrieve or swing.

Pros

  • Strong baitfish profile with a broad silhouette
  • Works in both clear and stained water
  • Balanced swimmer design with attractive movement

Cons

  • Exact sink rate and size vary by version
  • May be too large for very small water or selective fish
