Description

THE FLY “The Sunshine Doctor” is a truly remarkable sunshine fly. On bright days, it works well in most clear rivers. We prefer it translucent and a bit more sparsely tied. With its red head and butt, it carries the signature of the Doctor flies. It works in all sizes depending on the conditions and water temperature. If you like this, also check out the more sparsely tied Spey version that we prefer for low water conditions. We've kept the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern, drop-formed classic that will 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

This is a classic salmon-style fly for bright, clear-water conditions and can be fished in a range of sizes depending on water temperature and flow. It is best presented on a swing or steady retrieve where its balanced profile and modern swimmer design can move naturally through the run.

Pros

  • Works well in clear rivers on bright days
  • Balanced modern swimmer profile
  • Can be adapted to different conditions and water temperatures

Cons

  • Less suited to very low-water situations than the more sparsely tied Spey version
  • May be too flashy for heavily stained water
