Irish lough Dabbler
Trout · Sea troutSurface
The warmest of the Dabbler family — hot orange and fiery brown produce an autumn-toned pattern that works through the sedge season.
Fish this when
Summer on the Connacht loughs, particularly Corrib and Mask. On the bob dropper in a wave when trout are feeding aggressively on sedge.
Why it works
Fiery brown is a colour Irish lough trout respond to with conviction across a wide range of conditions. The Dabbler format adds swimming action.
