Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anglers looking to effectively use the Fulling Mill McPhail Grey Wulff fly. This fly is designed to imitate Mayflies, making it ideal for lough fishing in Ireland. A key benefit is its ability to ride high on the water's surface, attracting fish. A caveat is that due to the nature of the explosive takes, it is recommended to use strong nylon.
