Description
The Trailer Hitch is a highly effective nymph pattern designed to imitate large stonefly nymphs commonly found in fast-moving, rocky streams. Its realistic profile, durable materials, and heavy weighting make it perfect for targeting trout holding deep in riffles and runs. This fly also excels as an anchor fly in multi-fly rigs, helping to deliver smaller patterns to the feeding zone. Hook Size 10-14.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
A terrific Golden Stone Pattern for fast moving water!
