Steve Farrar Baitfish - Charlie Hall

A favorite pattern for perch fishing but it works just as well for trout, pike, you name it. I prefer Steve Farrar fiber the for longer baitfish patterns from about 10cm and larger. The fly become stiff with this fiber but it creates and very side to side movement in the water, just like a small wounded baitfish. I like to fish the fly aggressive with hard pulls. When I fish for perch with this pattern i mainly use sink 3 to sink 5 lines.
