Green Peter

The Green Peter is a time-honored wet fly, commonly used to target wild brown trout in Irish loughs and Scottish lochs. This fly is designed to be fished below the surface, imitating insects like the Phryganea varia. Known for its versatility, the Green Peter works well on both floating and sinking lines.

When fishing with wet flies, the action of the fly in the water is often more important than an exact match to any specific insect. However, in challenging conditions when trout are selective, matching their natural prey can be key. The Green Peter is particularly effective during Mayfly and large sedge hatches, making it a popular choice in Irish waters.

 The Green Peter is especially useful during periods when fish aren’t feeding at the surface. Its proven track record makes it a go-to fly for anglers looking to land wild browns in Ireland and the Highlands.
