Yellow Perch CPEG - Pike streamer

Yellow Perch CPEG is a classic pattern that simply works – a natural blend of olive back, yellow body, and orange belly inspired by the coloring of a perch. The subtle flash and muted tones make this streamer effective in any water, imitating a commonly found prey for predators.
The fly is available in two sizes: 13 cm and 18 cm – choose the one that suits the conditions and fish activity best.

This streamer casts light and accurately – no problem even with a #8 rod, but it performs best with a #9.
It sheds water quickly during false casts and folds into a slim projectile.
In the water, it flares, pulses, and flows – giving off a strong yet natural signal.
Visually, it looks large but stays light and easy to control.
You don’t need to animate it – but if you give it a stronger hand strip, it can surprise with an unpredictable move.
It also works with a spinning rod.
Just add a cheburashka weight and retrieve however you like – from the bottom, like a jerkbait, or in your own style.
A baitfish pattern that works instantly – no tweaking required.
