Description

THE FLY One of the very old classic patterns originating from Colonel Childers, we love the colour combinations over the dubbed brushed body. This translucent, colourful pattern is ideal for waters with a bit of colour. On a sunny day, when the sun shines through that whiskey-coloured water, the Childers is a great fly. We have preserved 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 designed for stained or lightly colored water, especially when sunlight can penetrate the water and bring out the translucent body. Fish it on a swing or steady retrieve where a balanced, modern swimmer profile can move naturally through the run.

Pros

  • Classic proven color concept for colored water
  • Translucent materials can show well in sunlight
  • Balanced profile suggests good swimming action

Cons

  • Less ideal in very clear water
  • Specialty pattern may be overkill for simple conditions
