This is a very simple but effective lure for rainbow trout especially in the winter months. The Black Fritz is a very versatile little pattern, which can be used with any fly line or retrieving method. I like to use an intermediate line with a slow to medium figure of eight retrieve. Takes on this lure are usually very positive. It can also be tied in a variety of colours and sizes to suit the water and season.
