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 and Dee-style fly for swinging through rivers, especially where a broad, flowing profile and soft hackle movement help trigger takes. The description highlights good results on Baltic and Norwegian rivers with forested water, so it suits larger rivers and traditional swing presentations.

Pros

  • Classic Spey profile with strong movement
  • Works well on traditional swing presentations
  • Translucent body and heron hackle create a lively silhouette

Cons

  • Specialized style may be less versatile than general-purpose flies
  • Best used with Spey/streamer-style swing techniques
