No 1. Mini Polar Magnus

Mini Polar Magnus

This is one of the flies that I love to tie on the leader when it is time to hunt seatrout on the coast and the watertemperature only is only a few degrees above zero. Often it can pay out well to go down a bit at the size of the flies when the fish is a little cold stiff.
Pink hackle also makes the fly stands out a bit and is easily visible to the fish.
