Chocklett's Feather Changer Fly

Chocklett's Feather Changer Fly brings old school materials to a new school design. It imitates a swimming baitfish with incredible realism. This fly is a must-have because it combines the multi-jointed action of a Game Changer with the natural movement of feathers. It is designed to target large predatory fish in both fresh and saltwater.

What It Imitates

This pattern mimics a wide range of baitfish. The feathers create a profile that looks just like a shad, trout, or minnow. The materials breathe in the water to trick fish into thinking it is a live meal.

How To Use It

Fish this fly with a strip-pause retrieve. The articulated spine allows the body to swim in an S-motion when you pull the line. Pause the fly to let it suspend and undulate. It works best when you vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish want.

When To Use It

Use this fly whenever fish are feeding on baitfish. It is great for clear water because the feathers look very natural. It also works well in stained water where the profile helps fish find it. You can fish it in bright sun or cloud cover depending on the color you choose.

Why We Like It

We like this fly because it casts easier than many other large streamers. The natural feathers shed water during the cast but soak it up instantly when they land. This gives you the best of both worlds with great movement and less fatigue.
