Description
The Waking Wounded, created by Alaska-based fly tyer Jerry Darkes, is an articulated streamer designed to target aggressive predator fish like pike, musky, and large trout. Its name reflects its purpose: imitating a struggling or injured baitfish on the surface or just beneath.
Pro Tip
Surface Wake for Explosive Strikes: Use a floating line and strip the Waking Wounded with short, sharp pulls to create a V-shaped wake on the surface. This imitates a panicked baitfish, triggering aggressive surface strikes from fish like musky, bass, or pike.
