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 saltwater fly designed for subdued light and stained or humus-colored water, where the black-and-red profile can stand out without being overly flashy. It is best fished as a streamer-style fly with a steady retrieve or short strips to imitate a baitfish or flashy swimmer.

Pros

  • High-contrast profile for low-light or stained water
  • Flashy materials add attraction without being overly gaudy
  • Weighted tube/cone design helps it fish deeper

Cons

  • May be less effective in very clear, bright conditions
  • Specialized pattern that may require confidence and experimentation
