This fly was designed for
one particular fishing condition - and that is when the water is very
deeply coloured after heavy rain.
It is simply meant to stand out and be seen at those times when the
visibility is so poor that the trout can barely see our flies through
the murk.
It has proved its worth at Thornton when the water has been badly
coloured, and would probably work in similar conditions elsewhere.
If it was used when the water clarity is normal it would probably only
scare the living daylights out of the fish! Nevertheless it is
well worth carrying a couple just in case.
