The Pin Fry: When Trout Switch to the Chase

When the season progresses and young trout and baitfish (pin fry) become active, trout shift their focus entirely to chasing prey. This specialized Pin Fry Imitator is designed to capitalize on that aggressive feeding behavior.

Tied for Attack:

• Perfect Silhouette: This pattern is tied with a slim, tapering profile that perfectly suggests a small, vulnerable fish. The clean lines ensure it moves rapidly and erratically through the water when stripped.
• Irresistible Flash: The silver and white elements are balanced to imitate the erratic flash of a fleeing fry in the water, triggering the trout’s predatory instinct for a hard, committing take.
• Point Fly Essential: Best fished on the point of your cast with an intermediate or fast sink line. The key is movement—strip it fast, vary the pace, and let the fly do the hard work of drawing the attack.

As a dedicated loch angler, I know how exciting it is to fish the fry season. This fly is tied with the durability to handle those heavy, powerful strikes. Make sure your box is stocked when the trout are on the chase!
