Fly fishing patterns for portuguese trout

Some days ago some foreigner was asking in Planetapesca fishing portal about Fly fishing patterns for portuguese trout. Maybe because he was thinking about coming here on vacation, maybe to prepare the upcoming world fishing games also here later this year.

Anyway, i thought i should post what my friend José Rodrigues (Webmaster of www.segredosdapluma.com and flyfishing expert) said. We should play the good host and help whoever comes here.


"The flies are the traditional flies. You can use gold bead nymphs in 12, 14 hook, cadis flies in 14, 16 hooks, little beattis.

CDC flies are great too. We don't have a specific fly that is really more efective than other ones, so you can use what you want. BUT... don't think that the portuguese trout are stupid.... most of the time you need to use little flies in 16 or 20 hooks, and 0,10mm tippet....

I don't have pics for you, but in my web site vou can see one or two good flies. Thanks José".
