ROCKY RIVER TROUT UNLIMITED STORE
VISIT the "new" RRTU Store ! Items you can not find anywhere else. Purchases go directly to support chapter projects, like the Davidson River Enhancement Project ! Plus, you get a valuable item of your choice. Like the just published, long awaited Volume 2 of the Southern Appalachian Fly Patterns and RRTU Fly of the Month. This is a new standard of history on the trout flies from local tiers, often featuring in-person interviews, and impossible to find anywhere else.
ROCKY RIVER TROUT UNLIMITED FLY OF THE MONTH :
Fly of the Month 01.21 - Rex’s Realistic Stonefly Nymph
When you grabbed a few recommended flies at the fly shop, you may have noticed that the flies appear to either be an attractor fly pattern or suggestive fly pattern. An attractor fly is designed to get the instinctive or territorial attention of the fish, is typically composed of bright colors and may appear to be an extreme version of the intended fish food. Examples include a Chernobyl Ant as well as the Royal Wulff which imitates an upright and divided winged mayfly yet has a bright royal red band on the body that seems to readily attract fish. A suggestive fly is designed to somewhat match the size, shape, colors, textures and/or actions of the fish food an angler believes present at that time or during a “hatch”. Examples include exact color matching Catskill style flies like the Quill Gordon and March Brown as well as tail dunking emergers and wing cased nymphs which have the shape and color of the fish food imitated.
