The Butt Monkey fly moves really well in the current. It mimics real streamer behavior and catches fish in fast-moving streams. Easy to set up and works great with a weighted line.

I’ve used it in several rivers and it responds well to the current. The erratic movement helps attract fish that are used to natural movement. A bit more delicate than other flies, so handle with care.

Fisher Kelly Galloup’s original design is well captured here. The fly stays natural and doesn’t sink too quickly. Great for targeting trout in riffles and runs.
