Description

This perfect surface lure stacks the buoyancy towards the head, which cocks the fly and makes the hook and body ride subsurface to maximise the hooking potential. A single hook also improves hooking ratio and is eases release. The largely synthetic materials cannot get waterlogged, keep their buoyancy and aids casting. A glow in the dark post makes the fly great fun to fish with, as you can see it coming back across the river towards you and even disappearing when a fish intercepts it! Size: 2

Field Notes

This is a surface-oriented fly that rides with the hook and body subsurface, so it’s useful when fish are looking up but you want a better hook-up ratio than a true dry fly. Fish it on a dead drift or with short strips across rivers and stillwaters, especially in low light when the glow post helps track the fly.

Pros

  • High buoyancy keeps the fly riding well
  • Glow post improves visibility
  • Single hook aids hooking and release

Cons

  • Best suited to surface-focused presentations rather than deep water
  • Synthetic foam-style materials may be less subtle in ultra-clear conditions
