Little Brook Trout
The Little Brook Trout is a bucktail streamer developed by Pennsylvania fly tyer Samuel R. Slaymaker II during the late 1950s. It was part of a series that also included Little Brown Trout and Little Rainbow Trout patterns, each designed to imitate juvenile trout and trigger the predatory instincts of larger fish. The fly is especially effective in waters with natural brook trout populations and can produce large trout, bass, landlocked salmon, and other freshwater predators. It is commonly fished with a steady or erratic stripping retrieve, swung through current, or trolled in lakes and ponds. Little Brook Trout streamers are generally tied on long-shank hooks in sizes 4 through 12, with the main tying consideration being a sparse, evenly blended bucktail wing that allows the fly to move and track naturally.
