Fly of the Month: Trout Smacker

fly-of-the-month

Summer is coming and trout fishing will continue to get better and better!

Although the Trout Smacker looks like a fluffy mess, once wet, it will “slim” down and imitate many different bait fish that trout love to “Smack!”

Fish it down and across and hang on!

My guide buddy Drew initially developed this fly. I’ve made a few changes but the basic fly design credit goes to him!
