A Hebridean palmered wet — origin attributed to a local tyer, now a standard of the Scottish loch. Bushy and effective in rough water.
Fish this when
Summer on the Hebridean lochs in a good wave. Fish it on the bob dropper, dibbled hard in breaking water.
Why it works
Bushy palmered body creates wake and disturbance. Works in rough water better than finer dressings. Sea trout respond with aggressive takes.
