Cats Whisker Fly

The Cats Whisker fly can be used all year round but excels in late autumn when the trout become active on fry. The Cats Whisker fly is a sinking pattern, so can be fished at any depth on either floating, intermediate or sinking line using the countdown method with all fly line densities.

The Cats Whisker is very attractive to fish because the materials have plenty of movement and the best retrieves are long erratic pulls giving darting movements to the fly. This can be varied by adding pauses in the retrieve followed by very quick short jerky pulls before reverting to the longer retrieve.
