Low-light silhouette
AspSubsurface
A strong silhouette option for dawn and dusk when asp are attacking high in the water. A black profile is more visible to predators hunting up into the light.
Fish this when
Dawn and dusk feeding spells, low or overcast light, fish hunting against the surface sky.
Why it works
Against a bright sky, a dark silhouette is more visible from below than a silver fly. Asp hunting at low light are often more aggressive — this provokes a fast response.
