Grizzly King Shortstriker Fly
The Grizzly King is a time-tested classic that continues to produce across waters and seasons. This hand-tied shortstriker version features bold grizzly hackle, a red butt accent, and a balanced profile that suggests both large insects and small baitfish.
The contrasting colors and natural movement make it an excellent choice when fish are feeding aggressively or reacting to motion rather than matching a specific hatch.
Why Fish Hit It
• Strong visual contrast draws attention
• Red butt acts as a strike trigger
• Soft hackle pulses and breathes in the water
• Looks like an injured insect or fleeing forage
When to Fish
• Early morning and evening
• Overcast days or lightly stained water
• Spring through fall
• During active feeding or when fish are chasing
How to Fish
• Cast upstream or across current
• Let it drift naturally, then swing at the end
• Use a slow to moderate retrieve
• Add short pauses to let the hackle flare
Many strikes happen as the fly swings or slows.
Target Species
• Trout
• Smallmouth bass
• Panfish
Each Grizzly King is hand-tied with care and built to fish, not just to look good. No two are exactly alike, giving each fly its own unique action in the water.
