Salmon · Sea trout · TroutSubsurface
Black and brown palmer with a touch of jungle cock — the Kat is a Scottish classic with a reputation earned through decades of loch fishing.
Fish this when
Spring and summer on Scottish lochs and Irish loughs. Fish it on a drifting boat, on the middle dropper in a team or as a single pattern.
Why it works
Simple palmered dressing fishes cleanly at depth. The jungle cock cheeks trigger strikes. Proven across every season and light condition.
