This fry pattern is superb when trout are bashing fry and coming back for the stunned fish. Usually best fished static and allowed to drift on the wind.
Fish often slash at the fly, presumably to stun it, and then come back and mop it up.
Under these latter conditions a firm lift usually results in a well hooked fish. Do not use a very light leader. Back to Favourite Trout Flies Copyright Carlsons.co.uk 2000.
