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 designed for bright days and clear rivers, especially when fish are responding to a translucent, sparsely tied profile. The tungsten cone and balanced swimmer design suggest it can be swung or stripped through runs where you want the fly to get down and move naturally.

Pros

  • Translucent, modern classic profile
  • Tungsten cone helps it sink and track well
  • Balanced swimmer design for a natural presentation

Cons

  • May be too flashy or heavy for very shallow water
  • Best performance may depend on clear water and bright conditions
