When big trout are keyed in on juvenile fish, the Skiddish Smolt is on the menu. This is an especially good pattern during smolt migrations, but it also performs as a general baitfish imitation throughout the season. It has a slender profile when wet and a bright red underbody like that of a somewhat transparent trout fry. Strip it erratically like a paranoid baitfish, or swing it on your trout spey setup. From RIO: Over the last decade, we&';ve seen this smolt pattern in most commercial fly bins, but we always felt there could be a more authentic representation. Enter the Skiddish Smolt. It really shines when cast and stripped or swung on a trout spey. Smallies, trout, and even the Coho and Sea Run Cutthroat of the Puget Sound find this fly more than just likable. Don&';t sleep on this one and add it to your fly box today.Bonus Pro Tip: Not specifically engineered for saltwater, make sure you rinse it well before and after use or prepare for a short lifespan due to corrosion.
