Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Trigger Fly?

The Trigger Fly is a trolling fly from Catch America built for trophy trout and landlocked salmon, sold in a 2-pack. It is tied with natural fibers, latex strands, tinsel, and crystal flash for a lifelike pulsing action. It comes in 11 colors, including Rainbow Trout and Captain America.

Who designed the Trigger Fly?

Catch America senior lure designer Cal Kellogg designed the Trigger Fly. Its standout feature is an extended hook system that sits back in the fly and virtually eliminates short strikes, so when a big trout commits you land it. It is one of the newer additions to the lineup.

How do you fish the Trigger Fly?

Troll it between 1.5 and 3 mph for a natural pulsing motion. Run it behind a dodger or flasher to boost movement and visibility in deeper water. To reach trophy-class fish, add depth with lead core line, snap weights, or a downrigger. Keep one in every spread.

What colors does the Trigger Fly come in?

It comes in 11 colors, including Pink and Blue, Orange and Blue, Rainbow Trout, Blue/White/Red, Sunrise, Sunburst, Sunset, Pink/White, and Captain America. Match natural patterns like Rainbow Trout in clear water, and brighter Sunrise or Sunburst tones when it is deep, stained, or low light.

What other trolling fly should I run?

Pair the Trigger Fly with the Metal Head Fly, also a trophy trout and landlocked salmon fly in a 2-pack. The weighted head lets it ride deeper and adds a different action to your spread. Alternate the two behind a dodger to show fish two looks.
