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

This is a classic saltwater streamer-style fly designed for stained or lightly colored water, especially when sunlight helps show off the translucent body. Fish it on a swing or with steady strips to imitate a baitfish profile and trigger follows in moving water.

Pros

  • Translucent profile stands out in colored water
  • Balanced swimmer design for a natural retrieve
  • Tungsten cone helps it get down and track well

Cons

  • Less ideal in very clear water when fish are spooky
  • May be too flashy for ultra-low-light stealth situations
