The Night Stalker Sea Trout Fly is engineered specifically for night fishing, when sea trout move into shallow margins and feed confidently near the surface. Designed to create a bold silhouette with controlled buoyancy, this pattern excels during warm summer evenings and calm, low light conditions.
Its buoyancy is concentrated toward the head of the fly, allowing it to sit slightly cocked in the water. This positioning keeps the hook and body just below the surface film, improving presentation and maximising hooking potential when a fish strikes. The use of a double hook further enhances hook up ratios.
The reflective body provides subtle flash beneath the surface, while the darker wing materials create a strong outline that sea trout can detect even in minimal light. A foam topping supports the fly high in the water column, keeping it working effectively in or just below the surface layer.
NB This sea trout fly is double hooked and barbed.
