Black Ghost – Zonker Conehead

Black Ghost Sunburst – an absolutely fantastic streamer for the brown trouts and sea run trouts.
This one should never be missing in the flybox – and that is that!

This version of Black Ghost is tied with a rabbit zonker wing and a brass conehead.

Zonker patterns are very effective when it comes to targeting aggressive fish like a  trout. The Black Ghost Zonker accurately mimics the way small fish such as small char swims, giving a lifelike action and look to the fly.

Here is how Eiður Kristjansson ties a version of the Black Ghost Zonker streamer.
