Description

THE FLY The black and red fly is a rare combination, one that requires a bit of faith to try. We favour it in humus-coloured rivers and particularly on cloudy days with subdued light. While it’s a flash wing, it remains relatively discreet, often catching fish even when other flies are performing well. We also believe that resident fish have a particular liking for red, with its appeal growing as they approach spawning. FEATURES – Two colour SSS mix – Tungsten turbo tube and micro turbo cone – Fished with loose bodies of own choice – Many possible colour combinations – Weighted flashy soft swimmer

Field Notes

This is a flashy saltwater fly designed for subdued light and stained or humus-colored water. The black-and-red profile can be effective when fish are keyed on contrast, and the listing notes it may appeal especially to resident fish as spawning approaches. Fish it on a swing or strip retrieve with a fly rod, using the flash to draw attention without being overly gaudy.

Pros

  • High-contrast black and red profile
  • Flashy but still relatively discreet
  • Works well in cloudy, low-light conditions

Cons

  • May be less effective in very clear water if fish are spooky
  • Specialty pattern may be less versatile than simpler flies
