Cats Whisker Double Trout Fly

from the Turrall Double Trout Fly Collection.

The Cats Whisker Double Trout Fly is a renowned pattern in the angling world, celebrated for its effectiveness in enticing trout.

Its distinctive white marabou tail and vibrant green chenille body create an irresistible allure, especially in murky waters.
Known for its versatility, the Cats Whisker excels in both still and running waters, making it a staple in any angler's fly box. Its lifelike motion and striking colour contrast are key features that consistently attract curious trout, ensuring a successful fishing experience..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Cats Whisker Double Trout Fishing Fly is highly effective when used with a variety of techniques. For optimal results, employ a slow to medium retrieve, incorporating occasional pauses to mimic the erratic movement of prey. This fly excels in both stillwaters and rivers, particularly when targeting trout. Use a floating or intermediate line to control the depth, and consider a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a lifelike presentation.
To maximise effectiveness, fish the Cats Whisker during overcast conditions or in slightly murky waters, where its vibrant colours can attract attention. Vary the speed and depth of your retrieve to find the most enticing presentation for the fish on that particular day.

Key Seasons - when is this

Double Trout Fly

most effective?

The Cats Whisker Double Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the cooler months, particularly in autumn and early spring. These seasons coincide with the trout's increased feeding activity as they prepare for winter or recover from spawning. During these times, the fly's vibrant colours and movement mimic small baitfish, making it irresistible to hungry trout. The fly excels in overcast conditions or slightly murky waters, where its visibility is enhanced. Additionally, it can be particularly effective during non-hatch periods when trout are less focused on specific insect patterns and more open to opportunistic feeding.

How does the Turrall Cats Whisker Double Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Cats Whisker Double Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the movement and appearance of small baitfish or fry, a crucial part of a trout's diet. This fly is particularly effective during the early stages of fish emergence when young fish are abundant and vulnerable. The vibrant colours and pulsating motion of the fly in water resemble the erratic swimming patterns of these small fish, making it an irresistible target for predatory trout. Fish are drawn to this fly as it signals an easy meal, capitalising on their instinct to hunt and consume these protein-rich morsels.
