Developed through Capt. Ken Tutalo’s guiding experience on the Upper Delaware River, these are not simply off-the-shelf streamer patterns. They are proven designs selected for their ability to produce strikes from wary wild trout.

Why We Fish It

Zonker and bunny leech streamers offer a combination of movement, profile, and versatility that makes them effective trout flies. Their flowing materials create lifelike action, even with a relatively slow retrieve, making them useful when trout are following or inspecting a streamer before striking.

When to Fish It

Fish these trout streamers throughout the season when trout are willing to chase baitfish, leeches, or other larger food sources. They are particularly useful during higher or slightly off-color water, low-light conditions, and whenever you want to cover water in search of larger trout.

How to Fish It

Use short strips, longer pulls, or a swing across current to bring the zonker materials to life. Vary your retrieve speed and include pauses to let the fly move naturally. Fish them through pools, along current seams, near banks, and around structure where larger trout may be holding.

Baxter House Guide Tip

Don't assume a fast retrieve is always best. Zonker and bunny leech patterns have plenty of movement on their own. Start with a slower strip-and-pause presentation, especially when fishing cold water or targeting pressured trout. Adjust the speed until you find what triggers a response.
