Description

THE FLY This classic fly is one that Mikael has tied for many collectors and is also one of his personal favourites. The old Master Kelson wrote that it was one of his father's best flies. Originating from way back, the heron hackle likely contributed to its renown. The black, soft-swimming fly works great as an all-around standard for cloudy days in clear rivers. We have preserved the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern classic that will swim and 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 salmon-style fly with a soft, swimming profile that is suited to clear rivers, especially on cloudy days. Fish it on a swung presentation or steady strip to let the materials breathe and pulse in the current.

Pros

  • Soft-swimming profile with strong movement
  • Good all-around pattern for clear water and overcast conditions
  • Tungsten cone helps it get down and track well

Cons

  • Not ideal for very shallow water if you need a slow presentation
  • More specialized than a simple attractor fly
