Follow the step-by-step guide with TFF Editor Steve Cullen and tie The Overcoat

This early season lure combines many effective characteristics of highly successful patterns. The weight of the chain-bead eyes and the long tail give it a sinuous movement that trout find hard to resist. The colour combination lends itself to most water conditions and its bulk moves a bit of water when pulled at speed – great for making trout take notice. Fish it on a floating line with long, slow pulls for the best results.
