The Stinger Sea Trout Fly is a bold and highly effective pattern developed to provoke aggressive takes, particularly during low light and night fishing sessions. Designed to create a clear, defined silhouette in the water, this fly combines flash with movement to attract sea trout holding in pools, glides and steady runs.
The bright holographic body reflects available light beneath the surface, while the darker wing and soft hackle provide contrast and lifelike motion during the swing. This balance between attraction and profile makes the Stinger especially useful when fish are active and willing to chase.
Fished on a barbed double hook, this version offers secure hooking power when targeting strong running sea trout. It is particularly suited to summer and early autumn fishing when fish respond well to visible patterns that push a little more presence through the water column.
NB This sea trout fly is barbed.
