Carey Special
The Carey Special is a Pacific Northwest stillwater staple featuring a pheasant rump hackle that creates an oversized, mobile collar suggesting dragonfly nymphs, leeches, and sedge pupae. It is one of the most effective subsurface lake patterns for trout and is a proven producer on BC interior lakes.
