Tube Zonker Rat Brown
This Tube Zonker Rat Brown is a unique mouse fly based on the properties of the rabbit skin – we make it in two natural colours.
These zonker-style patterns were originally intended for pike. Still, anglers bought them for their trout fishing, where they proved to be great – The ability to use smaller hooks also made it easier to connect with bigger fish at great distances. Build on our unique hitch tube; this fly will be a super-light alternative to those big rodent imitations tied on hopelessly heavy long shank hooks. It will hold a variety of different short shank hooks.
We know you’ll enjoy fishing this pattern – it will easily cast even on medium-light fly fishing gear. As many of our other wake flies, it is tied on our Riffling hitch tube 3.2 millimetres –

A dedicated page on the subject wake flies
Resident trout and sea trout entering the river systems have a weakness towards frogs and others that have taken a swim. Maybe the success of big hairy fly patterns is down to the hairy taste of mice.
