No 14. Tricolor cigar

Tricolor cigar

At first glance this fly may appear as a grotesque monster. 

Oversized and with extreme buoyancy and additionally tied to fishing for rainbow trout. 

But I strongly believe in big flies for rainbow troute. 

Many times it has been shown that they can deliver when almost nothing else does and this particular combination of colors has become very popular in the south of Sweden to fishing for rainbow trout

Stickleback Zonker 

When fish is feeding on smal baitfish as stickleback this can be a good fly. 

In some of my water that i frequently fish in, grey is a alround color and therfore works realy good all year round.

If you want a heavier fly you can add some turns of leadwire under the body.

No 21. Green Dambuster

Green Dambuster is one of my real favorite pattern for fishing for rainbow trout. 

It works as a really good all-round patterns and belongs to the simpler patterns to tye. 

A couple of good variation on the fly is by replacing the tail to fluo red or fluo white. 

Especially the variant with white fluo tail can sometimes be coarsely effective.
