Description

THE FLY This fly draws its magical colour combination from the classic Thunder & Lightning. It’s a perfect blend of discreet colours that has proven to be incredibly effective. Throughout pattern trials, the Thunder Pig has caught fish when traditional flies have failed. We always have them in our boxes and fish them with confidence, especially when the river takes on that thunderous, peaty hue. FEATURES – Vibrating feelers of wild boar and selected stripped hackles – FITS rubber feeler cone and micro turbo cone – SSS dubbing and glitz dubbing mix – Vibration creator – Translucent appearance

Field Notes

This is a streamer-style fly designed to imitate baitfish or other prey with a lively, vibrating profile. It is especially useful in peaty, off-color water where the bold color contrast and movement help fish locate it. Fish it on a swing, strip retrieve, or with short pulses to bring out the fly’s motion.

Pros

  • Strong contrast for stained or peaty water
  • Vibrating feelers add movement and profile
  • Versatile streamer presentation

Cons

  • May be less subtle in very clear water
  • Not ideal when fish want a tiny, delicate fly
