Description

This classic pattern is popular in England stillwaters, but our tests have shown that trout in the US and BC love it also. The foam eyes cause the fly to swim erratically which drives the fish crazy.

Field Notes

This is a stillwater streamer pattern designed to be fished for trout, especially in lakes and ponds. The foam eyes make it swim erratically, so it works well with strips and pauses or any retrieve that lets the fly dart and pulse. It is a good choice when fish are keyed on baitfish or when you want to trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Erratic swimming action from foam eyes
  • Effective for trout in stillwater
  • Classic streamer profile

Cons

  • May be less effective in very clear, highly pressured water
  • Not a finesse dry-fly option
