Description
Fly Type: This is a subsurface streamer and baitfish imitation pattern. The name "Kobber" (copper) refers to its powerful metallic sheen, which makes it a fantastic attractor fly.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting aggressive predatory fish. It is highly effective for trout (especially large brown trout), bass, pike, and zander.
Best Time to Fish: The Kobber Bassen works well year-round, but its copper color is particularly effective on overcast days and in murky or off-color water. The metallic sheen catches the light and is very visible from a distance, making it a great "search pattern."
Water Type: A classic freshwater fly, primarily for rivers and lakes.
Best Location: This fly is best fished in deep lake pools, near drop-offs, or in rivers with a good current. Target areas with structure, like submerged logs or rocks, where predators wait to ambush prey.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its visual appeal. The copper color provides a powerful metallic flash that can trigger an aggressive strike. The fly likely has a bulky, baitfish-like profile that convinces a large fish it's a worthwhile meal. Fish it with a slow, erratic retrieve to mimic a fleeing or injured baitfish.
