Iridescent bluebottle imitation
TroutSurface
Iridescent-blue bluebottle dressing for blowfly-feeding fish along grassy banks.
Fish this when
Warm days along grassy, insect-heavy banks where bluebottles are blundering onto the water and fish are working the margins.
Why it works
The iridescent blue body throws the same light-flash a real bluebottle's abdomen gives off, a visual cue fish register before they commit to the splashy take.
