Clan Chief

Loch sea trout wet

Salmon · Sea trout · TroutSurface

A fine Scottish loch wet fly with a reputation that spans both sea trout and brown trout. The Clan Chief fishes well on the bob and produces takes well into the drift.

Fish this when

From a drifting boat on Scottish lochs and Irish loughs in summer. Best as a bob fly in a good wave where it can be dibbled.

Why it works

The combination of dark body and lighter hackle works in most light conditions. Fished on the bob in a wave it creates surface disturbance that sea trout investigate.
