The Red Blob attractor or lure is a high visibility stillwater pattern tied to create movement, colour and presence in the water. Known for its ability to provoke reaction takes, the red version adds a strong visual trigger that can be especially effective when trout are aggressive or when brighter flies help stand out against coloured water.
Rather than imitating a specific food source, this lure works by suggestion and disturbance, encouraging fish to investigate through curiosity or competition. It’s a dependable choice on stocked waters, during cooler months or whenever trout respond better to bold patterns than subtle imitations. Fished singly or as part of a multi-fly cast, the Red Blob is often used to search large areas and locate active fish quickly.
Please note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.

How To Fish The Blob Red
Washing Line Approach
Position the Red Blob on the point with lighter patterns on droppers above. Its bright colour can pull fish toward the cast, increasing the chances of takes across the whole setup.
Slow Pulse Retrieve
A slow, steady retrieve with short pauses keeps the fly working without overpowering its movement. This method works well when trout are cruising or holding mid-depth.
Exploring Deeper Layers
Allow the lure to sink before beginning a controlled retrieve through deeper water. The bold red profile stays visible at depth, making it a strong searching option when fish aren’t showing near the surface.
