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 reservoirs. The foam eyes make it swim erratically, so it works well with steady retrieves, pauses, and strip-pause presentations that trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Erratic swimming action from foam eyes
  • Effective for trout in stillwaters
  • Simple, high-contrast black profile

Cons

  • May be less effective in very clear, highly pressured water
  • Streamer presentation can require active stripping and line control
