Black Pete trout fly. |
The Black Pete is a proper night fly. A good friend of mine assures me that this is the best ever night fly for fishing in Lake Coleridge . He has used it to good effect to take some of the largest fish I have seen caught from that lake. It is best fished closed to the bottom. Black Pete is the invention renowned Christchurch fly tier John Morton.
