Description: Galloup'sZOO COUGAR Dark Olive Head / Yellow Marabou Feather TailSelect Hook Size and Quanity at CheckoutONE FlyThe Zoo Cougar is an unweighted streamer pattern, designed to be fished on a heavy sinking line. The Zoo Cougar has a specific flat, bullet shaped head, which causes the fly to dodge back and forth as it is stripped. This action imitates a injured or dying baitfish and is deadly for big brown trout! The Zoo Cougar is a streamer pattern invented by streamer guru Kelly Galloup. The zoo cougar was designed to imitate a sculpin, and to look a little injured when retrieved across the current. This fly has no weight and is intended to be fished just below the surface of the water. The flat head, thick collar, and mallard flank wing make the zoo cougar incredibly light so that every current that touches it makes it flutter from side to side. The zoo cougar streamer was designed to fish with a jerk strip retrieve and is the single best producer for all sizes of trout that I have ever caught. Its design is that of a floating fly, but Kelly fishes it beneath the surface with a sinking line. Here is what he has to say:“The Zoo Cougar has without a doubt been the most productive fly for really big trout I have ever fished. This fly was the first of the floating fly concept and has still been the best of the bunch. A floating fly is a fly designed to be pulled under by the sinking line, as opposed to weighting the fly. This allows the fly to be kicked and pushed by the currents when it's not being stripped, giving the fly a very real and erratic movement.” As Kelly makes clear in his book on fishing streamers for trophy trout, the actual tie is really only half the game — the other half is learning how to fish it effectively, as the issue of casting and retrieving technique is just as important as the fly itself. Because the fly is unweighted, Kelly advocates fishing it on a sinking line with a short leader. The fact that the fly is unweighted (among other things) means that it flutters and ungulates as it stripped through the water in a more natural way — more in motion — than it would if it were a heavy fly tied with a lead tape or lead-wrapped body. By casting the fly right to where fish are likely to be holding, and then stripping it fast like a bait fish that wants to get the hell outta there, is key to getting larger predators to chase and hit it. Kelly rightly notes again and again the importance of understanding that large fish are predatory meat eaters, and that, as alpha fish, are tuned-in to opportunities to kill and eat wounded and confused baitfish. I have a limited number of these tied up in four different sizes. If you are serious about hooking large fish, I recommend you add this pattern to your fly box. Tightlines!
