Spring Stillwater Is Here… Are You Fishing Blobs Yet?
If you're gearing up for early season lake fishing, there’s one fly you don’t want to overlook: the Blob.

It might not look like much at first glance - bright, bold, and definitely not “matching the hatch”, but don’t let that fool you. Blobs have been quietly (and sometimes controversially) putting fish in the net for decades.
Originally developed in the UK competitive angling scene, blobs made waves in the 90s for one simple reason: they work. Fast forward to today, and they’ve become a must-have pattern for serious stillwater anglers here in BC.
At Pacific Angler, it’s one of the first flies we reach for when lake season kicks off.
