Baitfish are an essential food source for large Stillwater trout and a helpless, slow moving minnow is a meal that’s hard to pass up.
Tied on a balanced fly platform this minnow will hang horizontally under an indicator staying exacting at the depth you want it to. The overlapping wraps of palmer chenille do a fantastic job of imitating the reflective scale patterns of small baitfish and the realistic eye seals the deal when the fish gets close.
Tied on a heavy wire jigged hook these are ready to battle the largest predatory fish including the bemouth Cutthroat trout that inhabit Pyramid Lake.
