A new classic designed by Kelly Galloup. A sculpin imitation, the Zoo Cougar has a great fluttering action when fished with a rapid downstream retrieve. This fly works so well for trout that I often use it with clients who are inexperienced at fishing streamers to maximize the chance of hook ups with quality fish. It’s a lot of work to fish this fly properly but the results are well worth the effort. A medium fast six weight is required for the larger sizes. Tied on Tiemco 300 or Daiichi 2340 chemically sharpened streamer hooks.
