Brooks Sprout PMD

Oldie But Goodie

The Brooks Sprout is hard to find these days, but I've been using it for decades, particularly during mayfly hatches when I'm fishing slow, slick water. I prefer flies that stay low in the film (cripples, emergers, etc) that don't give fish much to object to. The Sprout is just deadly. The first day I got this new supply, I fished a famous pool on the Madison River during a Pink Lady hatch. Hooked an 18" rainbow that almost jumped over a logjam.
