The Waking Wounded is a fabulously fun top water fly that mimics a wounded baitfish, mouse or other tasty little morsel. Trout can’t resist something struggling on the surface and this fly mimics that perfectly. Don’t be afraid to strip this fly fast!

Description
From Fly Designer Ken Morrish:
I have always loved top-water fishing for trout and especially mousing, but mice are not always effective or abundant. However, baitfish and juvenile trout/ salmon are basically present in all waters, so I created this floating streamer to spice up my days on the water. It is a great Alaska fly when smolt are migrating, and it is a really fun fly in all kinds of brown trout water. There are lots of situations where you can’t fish this fly too fast. Double-hand stripping with occasional pauses is a super exciting way to fish this fly and is way more fun than nymphing!
