The sunburst Kate McLaren is a fantastic colour pattern for stocked and wild fish alike, this sedgehog version gives you more disturbance and probably more versatility than the traditional palmer style fly and should be in everyone's box. Pull it as a top dropper or put it on the point for a washing line effect, it's deadly.
