Description

THE FLY This is Mikael’s absolute favourite among the old classic Spey and Dee flies. Back in the early eighties, he had good catches on both Dee strip-winged versions and this one with a little cinnamon-coloured hair wing tied flat over the mobile heron-hackled body. This classic fly features humus colours, and perhaps that’s one reason it fishes so well on our Baltic rivers and Norwegian rivers running through forested areas. We appreciate both the classic approach and the sweeping heron hackles – it's no wonder this fly is still frequently found at the end of our leaders. FEATURES – Translucent spey profile – FITS tubing and t ungsten turbo tube – FITS tungsten turbo cone – Spey heron hackle – Synthetic jungle cock

Field Notes

Classic Spey-style fly for swinging through rivers, especially where salmon and steelhead hold in moving water. It is designed to fish well on Baltic and Norwegian rivers with forested, humus-stained water, and the profile suggests a broad, enticing swing on a leader or tube setup.

Pros

  • Classic Spey/Dee profile with strong movement in the water
  • Heron hackle and translucent body create a lively swing
  • Suitable for tube and tungsten cone setups

Cons

  • Best used with spey/swing presentations rather than simple dead-drift fishing
  • May be less effective in very clear, still water
