Black Pennel Double Trout Fly

from the Turrall Double Trout Fly Collection.

The Black Pennel Double Trout Fly is a classic wet fly, renowned for its effectiveness in attracting trout in both still and moving waters. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple in anglers' boxes since the late 19th century. Its design features a black body, often made of silk or floss, with a silver ribbing that adds a subtle flash. The hackle is typically black hen or cock, providing a lifelike movement in the water.
The Black Pennel's versatility makes it a favourite for imitating various aquatic insects, especially during overcast conditions. Its proven track record and simple yet effective design ensure it remains a go-to choice for trout fishing enthusiasts..

Black Pennel Double Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Black Pennel Double Trout Fishing Fly is best used in loch-style fishing, particularly effective in overcast conditions. Present the fly on a floating or intermediate line, allowing it to drift naturally with the current. Cast across the wind and let it swing around in an arc, maintaining a steady hand-twist retrieve to mimic natural insect movement. For deeper waters, use a slow figure-of-eight retrieve to keep the fly in the strike zone longer. Employ a team of flies, with the Black Pennel as the top dropper, to cover different depths and increase chances of attracting trout.

Key Seasons - when is this

Double Trout Fly

most effective?
The Black Pennel Double Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding. In spring, it mimics emerging insects, making it ideal during the March Brown and Olive hatches. Autumn sees trout preparing for winter, and the fly's dark profile works well in overcast conditions or when water levels rise after rain. Use it in rivers and lochs with a slow retrieve, especially in slightly windy conditions, which can stir up insects and entice trout to strike. Its versatility makes it a staple in any angler's fly box during these key seasons.

How does the Turrall Black Pennel Double Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Black Pennel Double Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the appearance of emerging aquatic insects, particularly the midge or chironomid pupae. As these insects transition from their larval stage to adulthood, they rise through the water column, becoming a prime target for trout. The fly's dark, iridescent body and soft hackle imitate the natural shimmer and movement of these pupae as they struggle to the surface. Fish are drawn to this stage due to the insects' vulnerability and abundance, making the Black Pennel an effective choice for anglers seeking to entice feeding trout.
