Description
Fly Type: This is a modern, subsurface streamer and attractor pattern. The name refers to its unique jigging action, which is created by its design and weighting, and its high-visibility white and orange colors.
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 bright white and orange colors are particularly productive in murky or off-color water and during low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or on overcast days.
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 powerful visual trigger of the white and orange 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.
