Known for its versatility, the Alexandra excels in both still and moving waters, making it a must-have for any fly fishing enthusiast seeking to maximise their catch..

Alexandra Double Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Alexandra Double Trout Fishing Fly is best used in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a slow retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the movement of small fish or aquatic insects. This fly is particularly effective when fished on a sinking line, allowing it to reach deeper waters where trout often feed.
For presentation, cast the fly across the current and let it swing downstream, maintaining tension on the line. This technique, known as the "swing," can entice strikes from trout lying in wait. Additionally, using a figure-of-eight retrieve can add subtle movement, making the fly more enticing.

Key Seasons - when is this

Double Trout Fly

most effective?
The Alexandra Double Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding. In spring, as the water warms, hatches of insects like mayflies and caddisflies occur, making this fly particularly enticing. Autumn is another prime time, as trout prepare for winter and are more aggressive in their feeding. The fly works best in overcast conditions or slightly stained waters, where its vibrant colours can attract attention. During these periods, focus on rivers and streams with moderate flow, where trout are likely to be hunting for food.

How does the Turrall Alexandra Double Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Alexandra Double Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic small baitfish or aquatic insects, particularly during their vulnerable stages. This fly is often used to imitate the movement and appearance of emerging insects, such as caddisflies or mayflies, which are crucial in a fish's diet.
During the emergence stage, these insects transition from water to air, making them easy targets for trout. The shimmering materials and movement of the Alexandra Fly attract fish by resembling the glint and flutter of these insects, enticing trout to strike as they seek out these nutrient-rich prey.
