The Olive Zonker is the classic rabbit streamer. Multiple colors, a minnow-like profile, and realistic flashy underbody make this fly an effective fish catcher in a veriety of situations and water types. Dan Byford is credited with tying the first Zonker back in the mid 1970’s, and it remains a staple fly pattern to this day. Much like the Clouser Minnow, the Zonker is an extremely versatile baitfish pattern that has accounted for a wide variety of fresh and saltwater species across the globe, and can be actively retrieved or dead-drifted with equal success.
