Corixa are found all over the world and are a favourite forage species for trout and other species. The silver corixa is a fantastic, simple pattern that does a great job of imitating these little bugs as they carry their air bubble around under the surface. Fish it slowly in the shallows especially on overcast days, early mornings or in the evening, you won't be disappointed!
