Originally devised in Scotland on the mighty Loch Leven this generic lure pattern has been unbelievably popular for both Rainbow and Brown Trout all around the world! This fly has caught Rainbows in Alaska, Brown Trout in Tasmania and literally thousands of stocked and wild fish here in the UK. This is a particularly good baitfish pattern and often best paired with a Black and Gold or a Black and Silver variation.
