Description: The Al Ritt Electric Zonker is a flashy twist on the classic Zonker profile. The use of squirrel strips makes it possible to downsize this fly style for smaller trout patterns. The dubbed bodies provide extra flash and are brushed out to add movement. Cone heads get the fly down quickly. Great pattern to imitate baitfish, leeches, and crayfish.
What it imitates: Baitfish, leeches, crayfish
When to fish it: Early and late in the season when bug activity is reduced.
Where to fish it: Rivers, streams, lakes and ponds
How to fish it: Mix up your retrieve until you find what the fish want. Quick short strips, longer steady pulls, very fast or very slow retrieves all work. It can even be dead drifted, especially below spillways where dead, crippled, or stunned baitfish may be present.
Approximate turnaround time to complete this order is: 2 weeks
