FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Use size 12 or 14. Adjust the size based on the size of the insects the fish are feeding on.

Can I use this fly in all types of water?

This fly works best in stillwaters and rivers.

How do I store the flies?

Store the flies in a dry fly box to prevent rusting and damage.

What type of leader should I use?

Use a leader appropriate for the size of fly and the conditions you are fishing in. A tapered leader is a good general choice.

What retrieve speed is best?

Experiment with different retrieve speeds. A slow, steady retrieve often works well, especially in stillwaters. In rivers, allow the fly to drift naturally.

How often should I replace the fly?

Replace the fly when the hackle is damaged or when it no longer appears natural.

Troubleshooting

Fly is not attracting fish.

Experiment with different retrieve speeds and depths. Try adjusting the size of the fly to match the insects present.

Fly is getting tangled.

Check your leader and tippet for any twists or tangles before each cast. Ensure that your casting technique is smooth.
