Silver Butcher

Loch attractor wet

TroutSubsurface

Silver body, red tail, blue-black hackle — the Silver Butcher brightens a team of wets when the day is grey and the fish need something to chase. A reliable loch standard.

Fish this when

On a drifting loch when trout are active but not obviously selective. Good on the point of a three-fly cast on overcast days.

Why it works

The silver body catches light and moves well in a wave. The red tail is a recognised trigger point. A high-confidence loch pattern on cold, bright spring days.
