Description

The Claret Bumble is a classic wet fly that was designed by Kingsmill Moore. It has produced some brilliant brown trout over the years right across the U.K. Best fished in a wave as part of a team of flies when the skies are dark. Our wet flies are all tied with the finest hackle and best materials available. The Claret Bumble will catch both brown and rainbow trout on hill lochs to reservoirs. Please Note: This fly is tied on the Fulling Mill Short Shank Special Hook, code 31510. This hook has a standard size hook gape, with a shank length one hook size smaller E.G size 10 looks like a size 12. Therefore, the actual size of the fly you buy, may look one size smaller than stated.
