Dirty Stripper
The Dirty Stripper is one of our most versatile jig patterns. It can be dead drifted, jigged, stripped slowly, or ripped aggressively through the water depending on the situation.
We rotate different versions and color combinations of this fly rather than keeping large quantities of one variation in stock. The current version is olive with a 5.5 mm nickel tungsten bead.
That oversized tungsten bead makes this an aggressive jig. It gets down quickly, creates a lot of movement, and is generally a fly we fish on no lighter than 4X.
The Dirty Stripper has accounted for some exceptional fish over the years and has proven itself well beyond the Farmington, producing large trout in multiple states.
Different colors and versions will continue to rotate through Farmington Flies, so when a variation is gone, the next batch may be something completely different.
