Black Ghost Zonker - Fly tying tutorial

- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2024
- The original Black Ghost was created by Mr. Herb Welch back in 1927. Since then it has become one of the best known "old school" streamer patterns and is especially popular here in Iceland. It works really well for brown trout as well as sea run brown trout and some say that you don't need another pattern in your box. That's probably not true, but personally, I wouldn't want to go fishing without it.
This version is a reasonably simple tie and shouldn't take too long to create. The rabbit zonker wing gives the pattern great movement in the water, and brushing out the dubbed body gives it a lot more "presence"
Fish this fly on the swing and you're bound to create a reaction!

Looks great i will give it a go, ive been doing well with a blue flash damsel recently 😉
I am coming to Partners to fish highlands in July. Will a marabou variation work in the streams? What is the one streamer to bring for the stream ? Thanks
