Perfect for still waters and rivers, the Alexandra's lifelike movement and vivid colours make it a must-have for any fly fishing enthusiast..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Alexandra Wet Winged Barbless Trout Fishing Fly is best used in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise effectiveness, employ a slow retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the movement of small fish or aquatic insects. Cast across the current and allow the fly to swing downstream, maintaining tension on the line. This presentation method can entice trout to strike as the fly moves naturally with the water flow. Additionally, using a floating line with a long leader can help keep the fly at the desired depth, increasing the chances of attracting fish.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Barbless Trout Fly

most effective?
The Alexandra Wet Winged Barbless Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months. In spring, as the water warms, trout become more active, feeding on emerging insects. This fly mimics small fish and insects, making it ideal during this period. Autumn is another prime time, as trout feed heavily before winter. The fly works well in overcast conditions or slightly murky waters, where its vibrant colours attract attention. During hatch periods, particularly of mayflies and caddisflies, the Alexandra can be a successful choice, enticing trout with its movement and appearance.

How does the Turrall Alexandra Wet Winged Barbless Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Alexandra Wet Winged Barbless Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the appearance and movement of small baitfish or aquatic insects during their vulnerable stages. This fly is particularly effective in imitating the emerging stage of caddisflies or mayflies, which are a crucial part of a trout's diet. As these insects transition from nymphs to adults, they become easy targets for fish due to their increased visibility and reduced mobility. The shimmering wings and lifelike movement of the Alexandra Fly attract trout by resembling these emergent insects, making it an irresistible option for anglers.
