Bloody Butcher
Loch-style attractor
Sea trout · TroutSubsurface
Red tail, silver body, blue hackle — a bright loch-style wet that earns its keep in the Connemara drift on a greyish day.
Fish this when
Overcast loughs and lochs, summer drifts for sea trout and wild brown trout. Fish it on the middle dropper in a team of three.
Why it works
The red-blue-silver combination triggers aggressive takes in low-light drifts — an old killer that hasn't aged and won't.
