About the Silver Firebird Trout Fly

Good stalking pattern, to get down to the selected individual fish fast

Expert Tip:

Stalkbugs were "invented" for fishing ultra-clear stillwaters which are stocked with large Brown and Rainbow Trout. The technique is based on the induced-take method whereby the pattern is cast and left to sit, in ambush as such, on a path that the target fish is travelling through on a regular basis. As the fish nears, the line is retrieved, causing the pattern to "jump-up" and imitate a quick getaway which stimulates a feeding response in the fish. They are extremely effective in this regard
