Description

THE FLY This crossover between two of our most popular flies, Pahtakorva and Nasty Banana, has proven to be just as good as expected. It’s a superb pattern for both slightly coloured rivers and gin-clear waters. We fish them in sizes ranging from big and fat 9 cm to more sparsely tied smaller versions. The spey-like ostrich hackle gives this fly an extra sexy swimming look. Few crossbreeds have proven to be so extremely effective so quickly. The slimmer TTT version retains all the TTT and Samurai benefits. The Bastard may be a bastard, but it's a bloody good one! FEATURES – Slim elongated profile – Tungsten turbo tube and micro turbo cone – Fished with loose hook, use FITS Tubing or Loose Bodies to create different effective combinations – Elegant distinct silhouette – Effective fished fast – Synthetic jungle cock

Field Notes

This is a streamer-style fly designed for swinging or stripping through rivers, especially where fish are holding in slightly colored water or clear water. The slim profile and spey-like hackle suggest an active swimming presentation, and it can be fished fast to trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Slim elongated profile swims attractively
  • Effective in both colored and gin-clear water
  • Can be fished fast for aggressive takes

Cons

  • Loose-hook/tube setup may require extra rigging
  • Not ideal when fish want a tiny, subtle fly
