Chartreuse Mop Fly
Imitating a wide range of food sources, the weighted mop fly from Fulling Mill makes short work of trout holding deep. The partridge feather adds an extra layer of bugginess, while the jig hook reduces the likelihood of getting hung up on the bottom.
The Chartreuse Mop Fly features an oversized tungsten bead to get it down deep whether you’re river or lake fishing. We shortened up the body to help increase the longevity of the fly and added partridge to give this already deadly pattern even more life-like properties! Equipped with a 3.2mm slotted tungsten bead and tied on our Fulling Mill Jig Force hook.

This mop fly performs well in deep water. The partridge feather looks realistic and the tungsten bead keeps it down effectively. I’ve used it in both lake and river conditions and caught several trout.
Caroline Baker –
Great sink rate and natural look. The hook holds well and doesn’t snag easily. Works well in deeper sections of lakes where trout are holding.
Eric Ferguson –
Solid fly with good action in deep water. The partridge adds a lot of movement. A bit more durable than some similar patterns I’ve tried.

Fished in a cold lake and it stayed deep without floating. The jig hook prevents tangles. Very effective for trout in deeper zones.
