Fulling Mill McPhail Blowfly

Everyone needs a good blowie in the box

Everyone needs a good blowie in the box. They are the most Australian trout food there is, blown onto the water all summer and taken without hesitation, and a fly with a fat dark body has a silhouette a fish can pick out from a long way down. Search big riffles in open braided water with it, slap it down hard against undercut grass banks, and skip it across lakes and dams on a warm windy afternoon. It also carries a nymph dropper without complaint.
