The Cooter Brown embodies the adage, “you’ll find structure without a bass, but you won’t find a bass with out structure.” Swap “bass” for “predatory fish” and here we are – a versatile diving streamer that moves water and entices would-be ambushers in waiting. Whether it be logjams, boulders, concrete walls, or cutbanks housing swamp donkey bass in the deep south or lurking brown trout in the Rocky Mountains, no fly works structure to the level of the Cooter Brown. The rattle adds an attention gaining element while the wide hook gaps create conditions for a proper hookset. This fly can be fished with on a 6-8 weight rod and is recommended to be used with a sink-tip line.
