 The world's finest fly fishing instruction - seven days |
Orange tadpole.
Yeah I know. But sometimes you need a trigger. Orange is one of those triggers. I only ever really use orange when the trout are on surface daphnia (or Boobies... erm, and sometimes in rivers) and then you need it. Pulled fast, or better still with fast figure-of-eight, this is a very successful May lure. It has bells-and-whistles action, sinks like a brick and knocks fish off their preoccupation. Either fished on an intermediate or floater at last knockings to targetted fish, or else use it as a point fly on a team-of-three: top - hot muddler, middle - pink thing, point - orange tadpole. When you see fish moving fast, with their backs out the water, taking daphnia, then this is the way to go. Give the fish plenty of lead and pull fast. You can catch a lot of fish very quickly that otherwise would be uncatchable.
