August cast of the month comes from Whalsey big trout expert Gilbert Williamson, offering us three patterns that reflect his passion for big fish.
BIG DADDY
Hook -size 10-8
Wing- Deer hair tied Sedgehog style
Tail- 4 strands of crystal flash tripled up twisted and knotted
legs- light cock hackles stripped and knotted- gilbert says these are stiffer than the usual pheasant tail hopper legs and really stand out in the water in a trout attracting way.
Gilbert has caught trout over 5 pounds on this pattern.
