Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fly

from the Turrall Double Trout Fly Collection.

The Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fly is a classic pattern with roots tracing back to the 19th century, originally crafted for salmon fishing but quickly adopted by trout anglers. Its name derives from the vivid red and silver colour scheme, reminiscent of a butcher's attire. This fly is renowned for its versatility and effectiveness in both still and running waters, making it a staple in any angler's fly box.
Key features include a silver tinsel body, red hackle, and a peacock herl wing, which create an enticing flash and movement in the water. The Bloody Butcher's design mimics small baitfish, attracting trout with its lifelike appearance. Its proven track record and enduring popularity make it a must-have for targeting trout in various conditions..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a slow retrieve with intermittent pauses, allowing the fly to sink slightly before resuming. This mimics the natural movement of an injured or struggling baitfish, enticing predatory trout.
For presentation, cast across the current and let the fly swing downstream, maintaining tension on the line. This technique, known as the "down-and-across" method, ensures the fly moves naturally with the water flow, increasing the likelihood of a strike. Adjust the depth by varying the sink time before retrieval.

Key Seasons - when is this

Double Trout Fly

most effective?
The Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding. In spring, as the water warms, insect hatches increase, making this fly ideal for mimicking emerging insects. During autumn, trout are preparing for winter and are more aggressive, making them more likely to strike. The fly works best in overcast conditions or when the water is slightly coloured, as its vibrant colours stand out. It is particularly effective during mayfly and caddisfly hatch periods, providing an enticing target for feeding trout.

How does the Turrall Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Bloody Butcher Double Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic small baitfish or aquatic insects, particularly during their vulnerable stages. This fly is effective in imitating the emerging stage of insects like mayflies or caddisflies, which are crucial in a fish's diet. During emergence, these insects transition from water to air, making them easy targets for trout. The fly's vibrant colours and movement in water attract fish by resembling the erratic motion of struggling insects, enticing trout to strike. This stage is critical as fish take advantage of the abundance and vulnerability of these emerging insects.
