Description

THE FLY This classic fly is one that Mikael has tied for many collectors and is also one of his personal favourites. The old Master Kelson wrote that it was one of his father's best flies. Originating from way back, the heron hackle likely contributed to its renown. The black, soft-swimming fly works great as an all-around standard for cloudy days in clear rivers. We have preserved the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern classic that will swim and outfish the original feather wing. FEATURES – Medium broad profile – Tungsten 1/2 turbo cone – M FITS tubing for fixed hook – Balanced modern swimmer – Beautiful drop form – Synthetic jungle cock

Field Notes

A soft-swimming streamer for clear rivers and cloudy or overcast conditions. It is designed to be fished as a modern swimmer with a balanced profile, making it a good choice when you want a fly that tracks naturally and moves water without a lot of aggressive stripping.

Pros

  • Soft-swimming action
  • Balanced modern swimmer profile
  • Good all-around pattern for clear water and cloudy days

Cons

  • Not a specialized match-the-hatch fly
  • Likely less effective in very heavy current than a more weighted pattern
