This trout lure is a bait used with a fly rod. It’s a wet fly which is to say that it floats beneath the surface of the water rather than on top. It is is designed and tied by Ted Krueger of Troy, NY, and is painted at three times it’s actual size.

Ted Krueger designed and ties this fly. He says it’s killer. It’s somewhat large for a trout fly (uses a 6 hook), and is a wet fly, that is sinks below the water. The cone head acts as a weight to keep it submerged.
