Olive

The Matuka series originated in New Zealand. It is unique because the long feather-wing is lashed to the body with a spiral wrap of oval tinsel. This strategy prevents fouling and has a unique action in the water. We use two matched dyed Badger saddle hackles on the brown and olive patterns. This gives each fly a black lateral line. A rather long dense collar hackle blends with the wing and assumes the shape of a fish's head when wet. Matukas can be used to simulate several prime game fish foods such as Sculpins, Leeches and juvenile Lampreys. In the Pacific Northwest Matuka style flies have caught Black Bass, Red Sides, Sea Runs, Steelhead and Chinooks.

Matuka, Black
This fly works in lakes, rivers large and small.  It is proven on steelhead, trout & bass.

Matuka, Olive
This is a great fly in many rivers and lakes for trout, bass and many other species of carnivorous fish.

Matuka, Dark Spruce
This can be a very productive sea run cutthroat fly.  Fish it under the streamside vegetation with a sinking tip line.
