The Ginger Mick is an interesting lure pattern in that it closely resembles several other lures with the ginger coloured cock neck hackle being the only difference. In particular it is quite close to the Parsons' Glory.
This comes originally from Kilwell Sports in Rotorua. It is mainly used as a trolling and harling fly. It comes in several different body colours though the most popular is red. Other body colours the Ginger Mick is sold with include: yellow, green and silver.
Hook size: 2-8. A good strong hook to use is the Black Magic 2x Long Shank.
Tail: Red whisks.
Body: Red, Yellow, or green chenille. Also flat gold tinsel wound over with a gold rib.
Rib: Silver oval tinsel.
Wing: Four ginger hackles - These must be ginger colour for this fly to be worthy of the name.
Collar: Ginger hackle.
Head: Black.
A few strips of Pearl Krystal Flash may be added to the sides for additional flash!
Other lures typically used for trolling and harling the lakes of the central North Island include: Taupo Tiger, Green Orbit, Grey Ghost, Parsons' Glory, Hamill's Killer, and Yellow Lady to name a few of the most popular.
