After experimenting with a few different patterns I created this one a couple years ago. It has proved extremley successful on those days where fish just did not want to take anything. I have used it in creeks and rivers. Best example was at a lake I was casting from shore, many people said you wont catch any nice trout from the shore and apparantly it is quite tough. Well heres what I caught the first hour of using the Red Lightning, people were sure interested in what I was using, even the fish and wildlife officer and I gave everyone a red lightning.
