Description
The RIO's Morrish Skate Rat was born out of the simple need for a large topwater pattern for big nasty fish. Think golden dorado, pike, peacock bass, and taimen, for starters. Due to its hook size, I wouldn't advocate using it for trout. There are lots of large flies and poppers that I like the thought of fishing...until I attempt to cast them. Un-castable concoctions have no place in my boxes nor in others. First off, we must be able to deliver; second, we must be able to deliver hour after hour and day after day. This fly is specifically designed to combine a large profile with castability. The no-wrap tail design also helps anglers keep the fly in the water where it belongs, as opposed to in the boat while you unwrap the tail!
