Description

THE FLY The black and red fly is a rare combination, one that requires a bit of faith to try. We favour it in humus-coloured rivers and particularly on cloudy days with subdued light. While it’s a flash wing, it remains relatively discreet, often catching fish even when other flies are performing well. We also believe that resident fish have a particular liking for red, with its appeal growing as they approach spawning. FEATURES – Two colour SSS mix – Tungsten turbo tube and micro turbo cone – Fished with loose bodies of own choice – Many possible colour combinations – Weighted flashy soft swimmer

Field Notes

This is a saltwater fly designed to fish as a flashy streamer-style pattern, especially in subdued light and stained or humus-colored water. The black-and-red profile can be effective when fish are keyed on contrast, and the description suggests it can also be useful as fish move toward spawning periods. Fish it on a swing, strip retrieve, or as part of a multi-fly setup with loose bodies and weighted components.

Pros

  • High-contrast black/red profile
  • Flashy materials add visibility
  • Weighted tube-style construction helps it fish deeper

Cons

  • May be too subtle for very dirty water
  • Specialized pattern may require experimentation with retrieve and rigging
