July Fly of the Month….Galloup’s Zoo Cougar

Sticking to covering Kelly Galloup’s line of sweet streamers I thought I would only cover his newer flies (the pg-13 line of flies:)  ) but if I am going to cover his line of flies without saying anything about the Zoo Cougar–well, that would just be wrong….WRONG! 

With it’s deer hair head this fly pushes a ton of water and in night fishing that is pretty big.  This fly is a staple in fly boxes for night fishing the White River, Norfork River, and the North Fork of the White for sure along with many, many others. 

I do have to say that the Zoo Cougar is more common in the “blonde” style but don’t forget about the darker colors as well.

 

Here is a video of Mr. Galloup tying the Zoo Cougar:

BRILLIANT!
