Description

THE FLY Yes, this is a wicked version of the highly effective black and orange theme. Soft sweeping heron hackles and deep burnt orange soft hair against a black main wing give this fly a superb colour combination and a lively swing through even the smoothest pools. Enhanced with orange-dyed JC substitutes in both the tail and sides, it makes a striking impression. We fish them in whiskey-coloured water and even on days when the water has a brown tint. A great fly in all sizes. 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 salmon/steelhead-style streamer designed to swing through pools and runs, especially in off-color water. The tungsten cone and balanced swimmer profile suggest it fishes subsurface with a lively, pulsing presentation on the swing or with a strip-and-pause retrieve.

Pros

  • Strong contrast for stained or whiskey-colored water
  • Lively swing and balanced swimmer profile
  • Tungsten cone helps it get down

Cons

  • May be less effective in very clear water
  • Heavier presentation can be overkill in shallow, slow water
