Description
Fly Type: This is a modern, subsurface streamer and baitfish imitation. The name refers to its unique jigging action, which is created by its design and weighting, and its realistic white and olive color combination.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting a wide range of aggressive, predatory fish. It is a proven pattern for trout, bass, pike, and zander.
Best Time to Fish: This fly is effective year-round. The combination of white and olive is particularly productive in clear water, where it provides a realistic imitation, but it can also be effective in low-light conditions by creating a strong silhouette.
Water Type: A versatile fly effective in both freshwater and saltwater.
Best Location: The Jiggy Fly works best in deep pools, near drop-offs, and around submerged structure where predatory fish are known to hold and ambush prey.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its distinctive jigging action. The fly is designed to move in a unique, up-and-down motion on the retrieve, which perfectly mimics a wounded or fleeing baitfish. This, combined with the versatility of the white and olive colors, makes it an irresistible target. Fish it with a slow, jerky retrieve to maximize its action and get the attention of a hungry predator.
