Wet fly
Dunkeld
Loch attractor
Trout · SalmonSubsurface
Gold body, hot orange hackle, jungle cock cheeks — the Dunkeld is outrageous in theory and extraordinarily effective in practice.
Fish this when
On a breezy loch drift when fish are in attractor mode. Spring and early summer as a point fly or middle dropper on a three-fly cast.
Why it works
The orange and gold combination triggers aggressive takes. The jungle cock cheeks act as a trigger point. Tried and trusted across every Scottish loch that holds fish.
