Black Ghost Zonker – Black W Orange tail # 6

The original Black Ghost Zonker is one of the most renowned patterns for lake trout in Iceland and a top recommendation from local fishing guides for waters like Lake Thingvallavatn (Þingvallavatn).

Our version draws inspiration from the original Black Ghost fly pattern, first created by the late Herbert Welsh. This heavy fry pattern is ideal for a #7-9 rod or larger.

This version enhances clarity and flow while keeping the essential details.

They are often fished with a stop-and-go jigging motion.
