Poison Tung Fly

Charlie Craven’s Poison Tung was developed around the color blue. Blue shows up well to fish feeding in deeper water and this simple fly pattern capitalizes on that fact. A gray Ice Dub head imitates an emerging midge and the slim profile creates a lifelike profile in the water. This is a great pattern for tricky tailwaters and clear, clean spring creeks when trout have seen the same flies over and over again. Changing color slightly with a fly and a profile these fish see and eat often makes a huge difference. The small fly is incredibly durable and holds up well over multiple river outings. It’s a great pattern to fish under an indicator on fine tippet or as part of a Euro nymph rig when water type permits. This fly is also a great trout pattern for lakes and stillwater fisheries during the winter when insect life is at a minimum and trout cruise looking for midges and other small meals.
