The Tomcat has interesting possibilities for trout, bass and carp. It's a simple tie based on the Woolly Bugger, but with that up-kick to the tail that should make the fly look very appealing.
I would fish it dead drifted under an indicator, bumped along the bottom, or simply swung. It should prove to be a very adaptable fly.
I tied this fly on a hook with a limerick bend so the tail doesn't stick up a lot as a consequence. A round bend hook would produce more of an angle on the tail. Your choice as to which one you like best.
