Zonker

Dan Byford invented the Zonker as a "swimming action" bait fish fly. His fly was an instant success, and accounted for many species of fresh water game fish, it is an extremely successful stillwater attractor pattern and a great baitfish imitator. Very attractive to large, predatory trout, and it works well in both rivers and lakes.

I am a big fan of this fly. Like many fly fishers I’ve found a Zonker to be very productive in a wide range of fishing situations, and the materials used in this pattern are the key to its success,  because the rabbit strip pulses and breathes as it is stripped. it undulates, and seems to never stop moving. Once you see rabbit fur under water, any doubt you may have in it, quickly disappears, and they are also available with Mylar or Fritz bodies and come with or without a Goldhead.

Zonkers can be fished in many different ways, I find moving  the rod tip from right to left makes the fly swim in a zigzagging motion. Vary the retrieve from slow and steady, fast, strip-and-pause, or quick, short two-inch strips until you find what works best at your location  or alternatively a very slow "figure of 8" retrieve. Using your fingers to retrieve the line in such a way that the line is in the shape of a bunch of figure 8's, so the retrieve is constant and most important slow.

 

Tight Lines,
