Introna's Black and Green lure

The start of the reservoir season is upon us and here is a pattern that will catch you fish everywhere 'period'.

Introna's Black and Green lure.

Ok, yet another 'Tadpole' type concoction eh? Well... yes! Take my word for it, it is the only lure you will need on opening day at the likes of Rutland. A cracking fly for the competition loch styler trimmed down and unleaded or, tie it leaded for bank fishing.

Floating or intermediate line is perfect with a leader of say 18ft... try a buzzer on a dropper too if you wish. Retrieve of steady long pulls to figure of eight.. let me know how you get on!
