Scruffy Black Top Hat

The Scruffy Black Top Hat is a dry fly pattern designed to imitate small emerging insects on the water’s surface. Its scruffy black body and upright hackle provide a natural, lifelike silhouette that sits confidently on the surface film, making it highly effective on small waters and stocked venues. Perfect for fishing along margins, near structure, or across open water, it provokes strikes from both opportunistic and selective trout. Its slightly rougher profile adds extra movement and realism, giving it a subtle edge over standard dry fly patterns.

This fly is part of the RJW Essential range. These flies are bought in bulk and offered at a budget-friendly, affordable price and are in stock and ready for immediate delivery.
