The Zoo Cougar always seemed a fantastic fly, but I was not particularly attractive in the original colors even if they have been chosen by its creator K. Gallup.
In environments that I fish trout there are two bodies that occupy a favorite place for trout feeding time, one catfish are small and others are pancoras a good sized crustacean belonging to the family Aeglidae.
Both share a couple of features, one is that its color is often in olive tones and the other is that both have flattened silhouettes ... the pancoras even have a silhouette of "almond" much flatter and wider than the small catfish, however I found we changing the color of the Zoo cougar would in a fly that share these patterns ... and it was.
In small sizes they are really fisherwomen and can be used throughout the entire season, even with some additives such as rubber feet.
It is not a frequent model in boxes fishermen but the truth is that I suspect that will be for long.
