Description

THE FLY This discreet classic sunshine fly has, in many variations, been with us since the early eighties. It’s one of those timeless patterns that remains highly effective even today. We favour it in clear rivers, fishing it on bright sunny days as well as when clouds roll in and a light, subtle fly is the best option. What makes this modern version so effective is its translucent and sparsely tied appearance. We fish the Silver Grey in all sizes, adapting to the conditions at hand. We've retained the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern, drop-formed 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 for clear rivers and bright conditions, especially when fish want a subtle, translucent profile. It can also be effective when clouds move in and you need a softer, less aggressive presentation. Fish it in different sizes to match water clarity and fish mood.

Pros

  • Translucent, sparse profile for clear water
  • Balanced modern swimmer design
  • Versatile across multiple sizes and conditions

Cons

  • May be too subtle when fish want a larger or flashier fly
  • Best use is more specialized than a general attractor pattern
