Description

THE PATTERN This fly inherits its magical colour combination from the classic Thunder & Lightning—an exceptionally effective blend of discrete colours. During pattern trials, the Thunder Pig caught fish when more traditional flies failed. It’s a must-have in our boxes, especially for those days when the river carries a peaty hue.

Field Notes

This is a saltwater fly pattern pack built around the Thunder Pig pattern and matching tying materials. It is meant for tying and fishing in peaty or stained water when a discrete but high-contrast color blend can outfish more traditional flies. The included materials suggest a tube-style fly with cone options for fishing deeper runs or moving water.

Pros

  • Complete pattern pack with organized materials
  • Strong contrast for stained or peaty water
  • Includes tube system components and cone options

Cons

  • Not a finished fly
  • Requires fly-tying skill and tools
  • Best use is more specialized than general-purpose flies
