Notes
A coastal cutthroat pattern that works year round on beaches and in brackish estuaries, and in rivers and lakes in winter. It is fished on a floating line with a 6' fluorocarbon leader, an intermediate sinking line with a 4'-5' leader, or a sink-tip with a 5' leader, and the author has seen the most action as the fly hits the water. Size 8 seems to attract the most attention.
