"The solution to any problem -- work, love, money, whatever -- is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be."
-John Gierach
John Gierach’s Little Brown Trout is a classic for both bass and trout anglers. The bucktail was developed alongside the Gierach Special bucktail | https://youtu.be/Ni6N3svNd0c | John originally tied this fly pattern with pearl braid and weighted the body with lead wire.
