A visit to the Zoo

Kelly Galloup is credited with creating the Zoo Cougar, a slick little Muddler like minnow imitation. The pattern is designed to be fished on a sinking line much like boobie are fished in the UK. Stripping in the line pulls the fly under the water, mimicking a wounded bait fish.

This is a nice looking pattern again with some beautiful glass beads. It is an interesting concept. The author fishes the fly wet and no doubt it would be a good choice for hunting largebrowns in the spring.
