JC Viva

Jungle-cock Viva loch lure

TroutSubsurface

The classic Viva — black body, green tail, silver rib — given jungle cock cheeks and reduced to a smaller hook for loch and island fishing. The JC addition transforms a reservoir standard into a pattern that sits comfortably among the traditional Hebridean loch flies.

Fish this when

Fish it during spring and summer on loch. Use it when the naturals are about and fish are feeding seriously. Have it ready for selective moments.

Why it works

The Viva's black and green is one of the most reliable combinations in still water fishing. The jungle cock cheeks add a classical focus point that triggers the take.
