Friday Night Flies – Water Boatman – Backswimmer
As the ice off begins to happen it’s time to start getting those still water patterns ready to go for lake fishing
The water boatman is a very effective fly fishing pattern in Western Canada From May – September. It is a very hard pattern to fish incorrectly. You can troll it, cast it and strip it. A great fly for both rookies and pro’s alike.
