Willow Grub

The Willow Grub is just one of those all or nothing flies that has to be used in certain situations when it heats up over summer. When the fish are keyed into the grubs falling from the willow trees, there is very little you can do to convince them to look at anything else. So, have a handful of these in your fly box could mean the difference between a disappointment and a memorable day on the water. They may be one of the simplest flies to tie, but they are certainly one of the most engaging to fish. If you’re fishing willow lines streams, or any of the bigger rivers like the Goulburn, Mitta or Tumut over summer, you need some willow grubs on hand just in case.

All flies sold at Troutlore are tied by hand in Australia by Rob from Troutlore, or designated tyers for specific patterns who are noted in the descriptions. This fly pattern is tied on quality Ahrex hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box.

All flies in the "Troutlore Flies" range are tied to order, after completed payment. This usually requires a 5-7 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order. Flies tied by other Australian fly tyers are kept in stock and up to date quantities are shown, for immediate dispatch.
