Ed McCoy's Amphibious Assault (Night Fishing/Frog)

The McCoy’s Amphibious Assault is a frog pattern that Ed McCoy developed for fishing at night for Trophy Trout. Frogs are often an overlooked meal readily available to fish. Frogs tend to reside along most of the streams we frequently fish in Northern Michigan. McCoy’s Amphibious Assault has been an absolute butt kicker for Ed for several seasons. If you follow Mangled Fly social or Ed McCoy you have seen several really big trout caught the past several seasons. Most of them have been on the Amphibious Assault. The combination of the hook to shank attachment, blending of materials, and foam head make this fly come to life. This combination of materials provides more water displacement and more positive hook ups.
