The black marabou usually fishes best with medium to long  pulls followed by brief pauses as this lets the wing pulsate enticingly. In cold  water do not make the mistake of pulling the fly as fast as you can because  unlike mid summer trout are not inclined to rush after a fly.<\/p>\n<p>This is one  lure that works very well on Brown Trout as well as rainbows and if you fish for  Sea Trout then again it is a fly well worth putting in your box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE BLACK MARABOU Materials required: Long Shank Lure Hook Sizes 6 \u2013 10 Black 6\/0 tying thread Body \u2013 silver flat tinsel ribbed with heavy silver wire or silver oval tinsel Beard \u2013 Bright red cock hackle Wing \u2013 black &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/useful-tying-patterns\/black-marabou\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127\/revisions\/132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
