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

A classic translucent salmon-style fly for slightly colored water, especially when sunlight can penetrate the water and bring out the pattern. The balanced swimmer profile and tungsten cone make it a good choice when you want the fly to track well and fish below the surface on a swing or retrieve.

Pros

  • Works well in lightly colored water
  • Balanced modern swimmer profile
  • Tungsten cone helps it get down

Cons

  • Less suited to very clear water
  • Specialty pattern, so effectiveness can be situation-dependent
