Description

The Frances is famed for tempting otherwise reluctant fish to strike. This famous Icelandic pattern has been around for years and despite numerous attempts to replace it, it remains a firm favourite the world over. In this format, it is ideal for big water and in the spring when you need to get down to the fish. For the best results and piece of mind we advise pairing this fly up with our leading Salmon Tube Fly Hook. Size: 1in
