Description
The King Rat – Created by Drew Chicone, is tailored for hefty predators such as big brown trout, largemouth bass, peacock bass, and pike. Equipped with a robust weed guard, it's primed for casting into dense cover, walking it off the bank, or maneuvering it over tree limbs. This fly sits low in the water, emulating the natural behavior of a rat or mouse. Hook size 2/0
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Surface Disturbance: Use a series of quick, erratic strips to create a commotion on the water's surface, imitating a panicked rodent. This action can provoke aggressive responses from territorial fish.
