Essentially a black Zonker but with some UK variation.
In today’s video, we are looking at the famous and deadly Black Mamba fly pattern. I first tied this style of Black Zonker in 2012 and ever since, it has been my number 1 fly in terms of producing fish, every single season. There is a reason customers keep coming back for more. If you are sitting at home and thinking ‘It’s just another Zonker’ you’ll be sorely mistaken. Give it a tie and you’ll soon see why this fly is slowly becoming everyone’s go-to fly.
