Originally designed across the water in Ireland, the Bibio has become an indispensable staple on Scottish lochs and reservoirs. It excels as a universal attractor pattern, particularly when the trout are looking for a substantial meal near the surface.
Why the Bibio Works:
- Terrestrial Imitation: The dark, compact body and full hackle perfectly mimic large land-borne insects (such as the Hawthorn Fly, or Bibio marci) that are blown onto the water, making it a seasonal essential.
- The Draw Factor: Fished on the bob fly, its bushy dressing creates a significant wake and disturbance when dibbled or pulled, which is guaranteed to draw curious trout up to investigate your whole cast.
- Versatility: While it shines in a wave on the top dropper, it can also be retrieved slowly as an effective searching pattern across the middle of the cast.
Hand-Tied Quality: Like all flies from Lochcast Flies, this Bibio is tied by me using quality materials for maximum toughness, ensuring it stands up to those aggressive takes and the rigors of loch-style pulling retrieves. Put your confidence in the Bibio—it’s built to bring up fish.
