Silver Dabbler
Silver Dabbler lough wet
Trout · Sea troutSubsurface
The silver-bodied member of the Dabbler family — bright, flashy, and particularly effective on grey, overcast days when dark patterns are refused.
Fish this when
Summer on Irish loughs during sedge hatches. Fish it on the bob dropper of a drifting cast, dibbled hard in the wave.
Why it works
Silver body is highly visible in low light. The Dabbler's flat-swept hackle provides a different silhouette from conventional wets.
