About the Palmered Eyed Dog Nobbler Mayfly Trout Fly

The most killing pattern of all time, now over 20 years old and still taking more Trout than any other pattern. The nobbler kills Trout throughout the year and is available in a range of sizes and colours to suit all conditiions. Being weighted, the sinks fast, for when the Trout are lying deep, and for when they are feeding just below the surface retreive the nobbler just after it hits the water. For cold, windy conditions, use the larger size 8 and for normal conditions the size 10 nobbler is deadly. If the water is clear and the fish are shy then try the nobbler nymph size 12.
