Double Fat Albert
Ah the king of terrestrial patterns, the Fat Albert. If your heading to Montana, chances are your box is full of these and Chubby Chernobyls. This pattern was a customer request who was heading to South America. It adds a wing to this pattern giving it extra visibility, while creating an extra bugginess that the fish should notice from below. Finally we are adding these in a new color, yellow. Which will make this pattern much more appetizing to fish in hopper infested waters.

Fished in a remote Montana lake and caught several trout with the Double Fat Albert. The yellow color stood out in the murky water and the wing design made it look more natural. A solid addition to my fly box.

Used it in a South American river and saw good action. The bugginess from the wing helped trigger strikes. A bit more visible than the standard version, which is helpful in low light.
Abigail Pullman –
Great for use in areas with lots of hopper activity. The yellow color really draws fish in. The wing adds a realistic touch and the fly performs well in both still and moving water.
