Moose Hair Patterns

Bulky deer-hair family
TroutSurface

A solid river pattern. Imitates adult mayfly, caddis or terrestrial depending on style. Does what it says, no fuss. The sort of fly you tie on and get on with the day.

Fish this when

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

Why it works

It works because the profile reads as adult mayfly, caddis or terrestrial depending on style. Straightforward pattern, proven result. Fish it with confidence when other flies don't move them.
