Fly pattern
Rockerka
Czech champion Luboš Roza's signature CDC dry fly. Tied with a segmented body and a thick wing of CDC feathers, it mimics a skating caddis or egg-laying adult and can be active-retrieved (skittered) or dead-drifted.
Key points
•
CDC Wing: Delivers exceptional natural floatation and realistic leg movement.
•
Skating: Highly effective when retrieved actively across the surface tension to create a wake.
•
Micro-triggers: Features subtle hot spots (often a tail tag) to attract picky trout.
