Sculpting Flash Fiber Baitfish by Charlie Hall

A favorite pattern for sea trout fishing but it works equally well for perch and other predators. I use Sculpting Flash Fiber for flies up to 10 cm. The fly moves side to side in the water, and I like to fish the fly aggressively. The fly also works well drifting in the waves to imitate a dead stickleback! When fishing for sea trout with this fly I use Slow mo – inter / S3 line.
