About the Stewart's Millionaire Taddy White Trout Fly

Developed for rivers of Eastern Cape. Best used an hour before dark - with sinking, intermediate or floating line. I used it in NZ in fast water rivers with great success. My customers in Natal have caught monsters with it. Stewart's method is 3 pulls wait 5 seconds then 3 long pulls - they have usually taken by this time, he tells me!

Expert Tip:

I discovered that as well as an excellent river fly, I had created a great still water fly. It represents ANYTHING a fish likes!

Dressings

• Hook : Size 8.
• Silk : Light Grey.
• Body : Strip of Mink.
• Tail : Marabou with 3 or 4 lengths of strong,narrow, flat mylar/flashabou in various colours including blue, silver, gold and pearl.
• Butt : Floss or wool in Salmon pink.

Weight problem was solved by using beads, copper, brass, silver or gold. I started off with a a strip of mink as a tail, plus mink wound around hook for body. I wanted to represent the tadpole. However it prove to be sluggish - I needed more mobility so I substituted mink tail with long marabou adding strands of flashabou.
