Trout Pellet

 

Fly Tying

The Trout Pellet

 

I seen this pattern several years ago somewhere; it said great fly for stocked fish.  I thought about it and tied up a few and boy does it work good. It is suppose to resemble the pellets they are fed while being raised.

Materials

Hook size 10

Brass Bead 1/8

Thread UTC 70 olive

Lead wire .015

Chenille Medium olive with tinsel in it

 

 

 

 1. Place bead on hook and secure in vise.

 2.Wrap about a dozen turns of lead wire and push up into the bead.

 3. start the thread and wrap back to hook point.

 4. Fray the end of the chenille to expose the thread core.

 5. Tie in and work thread back to front.

 6. Wrap the chenille up to bead and then back half way, then back to bead. You want a roundish shape.

7. Whip finish and glue and Enjoy.
