Craft Fur Goby by Niklaus Bauer

This goby patten is one of my favorite flies when I’m targeting big perch, the chartreuse color seems to have a magic effect to them together with the gold Dragon tail, of course you can tie this pattern I many different colors and in more natural colors with a copper dragon tail it’s a great brown trout fly. I normally fish these flies with a sink 3-5 short headed line like the Vibe 85 from Vision and a 7 weight rod is perfect. This is also a great Zander fly if you whant to give them a try.
