The McGinty

The McGinty Fly, a classic wet fly pattern, was originally created in 1883 by Charles McGinty and has since earned a reputation as an effective fly for both bass and trout. While its original purpose was to entice bass, many anglers believe its bold yellow and black striped body was designed to mimic a bumblebee, making it equally effective for trout in rivers and streams. With its timeless design and versatility, the McGinty Fly remains a popular choice for targeting fish during the warmer months when terrestrial insects are abundant.

Swing in Slow Currents: The McGinty Fly performs best when fished on a wet fly swing in slower currents. Allow the fly to drift naturally across the stream, imitating a drowned insect.
