Description
Fly Type: This is a subsurface streamer and baitfish/leech imitation. The name "Omö Borsten" (Danish for "The Omö Brush") refers to its thick, "brushy" body, while the black color makes it an effective attractor fly.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting aggressive, predatory fish. It is a proven pattern for sea trout, striped bass, and cod.
Best Time to Fish: This fly is effective year-round, but its dark color and strong silhouette make it particularly deadly in murky or off-color water and during low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or on overcast days.
Water Type: A classic saltwater fly, especially for coastal areas and brackish water.
Best Location: The Omö Borsten Black works best in shallow coastal bays, over rocky bottoms, and in eelgrass beds where large predators are known to hide.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its distinct profile. The thick, brush-like body creates a strong silhouette and a lifelike, buggy appearance in the water. The black color is perfect for creating a sharp contrast against a lighter sky, which makes it highly visible to fish from below. Fish it with a slow, erratic retrieve to give the fly a "breathing" action in the water.
