Default Polar Peter
This is a version of the green Peter I first tied about two years ago. Since then it has accounted for numerous trout and salmon all arround Ireland. The Polar bear is dyed olive and the hackles are dyed foxy.

Yes Madjoni it is real polar bear. A friend of mine was on a world wide waiting list for a skin. they are from rogue bears that have to be put down. the hair has a glisten that is like angel hair.Unfortunately cannot be seen in the pic


Wee Jimmy, Sorry to say I have never used the GP for lough seatrout. This peter accounted for over 50sea trout and 2 or 3salmon for a friend of mine on Carramore last year. I think it was mentioned on trout and salmon fishing reports in Aug.



Hobble, it works well on Corrib,Mask,Derg and Lein, Hope fully this year I will try other lakes
