Duracell - Tungsten
Originally created by Craig McDonald, the Duracell is a modern essential in any serious trout angler’s fly box. What it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in sheer effectiveness. This buggy, versatile pattern features a UV brown ice dub body and a CDC collar that traps air bubbles—mimicking the gills and shimmer of natural aquatic insects. Fish see it, they believe it, and they eat it. The UV dubbing adds just enough flash to draw attention, while the CDC brings that natural, gill-like movement that triggers takes from even the most pressured fish.
