Blowfly
Noisy plop blowfly
TroutSurface
Black-and-blue blowfly imitation for the NZ/lake blowfly fall; a noisy plop pattern.
Fish this when
A blowfly fall on lakes and backcountry water, dropped hard against the bank rather than eased in.
Why it works
The deliberate splashy landing mimics a clumsy blown-in fly hitting the water, so the disturbance itself pulls fish up rather than a quiet presentation.
Naturals it imitates
generic blowfly (greenbottle/fleshfly-toned, non-iridescent)
