Hrútur
Hrútur translates to “Ram” and is one of those flies that was deliberately designed to stand apart from most traditional patterns. Despite its unconventional look, it is an extremely effective bright-water fly and has earned a place in the boxes of several guides — often as a last-resort savior when nothing else works.
