About the Drab Olive Trout Fly

Rod works throughout the season as a Ghillie on Loughs Mask, Carra, Corrib and Conn and is careful to test the flies he designs thoroughly in the field before publishing patterns. Generally, the flies are designed and selected for use according to conditions of light and water clarity rather than the attempt to follow natural patterns of insect hatches.
