Red Setter trout fly

Description The Red Setter trout fly is a top fly for fishing rivers or lakes. Some say that it reprents a koura or freshwater crayfish while others maintain that it is really an egg pattern fly that pre-dates the globugs. Whatever is the truth it is one of New Zealands most effective patterns.
