Claret Diawl Bach Wet Hackled Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Claret Diawl Bach Wet Hackled Trout Fly is a must-have in any angler's fly box, renowned for its versatility and effectiveness in UK waters. Originating from Wales, the Diawl Bach, meaning "Little Devil" in Welsh, has been a staple since the late 20th century. Its claret hue mimics a range of aquatic insects, making it irresistible to trout.
Key features include a slim, claret-coloured body, often ribbed with fine wire for durability, and a soft hackle that provides lifelike movement. This fly excels in both still and running waters, enticing even the wariest of trout. Its design is simple yet highly effective, making it a favourite among seasoned anglers..

Claret Diawl Bach Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Claret Diawl Bach is best used in stillwater and reservoir fishing, particularly effective during the warmer months when trout are feeding on nymphs. To maximise effectiveness, fish it on a floating or intermediate line with a long leader. Use a slow figure-of-eight retrieve to mimic natural nymph movement. Alternatively, try a steady hand-twist retrieve to keep the fly just under the surface. For presentation, cast into likely feeding areas such as weed beds or drop-offs. Vary the depth by adjusting the retrieve speed and allow the fly to sink naturally before starting the retrieve.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Claret Diawl Bach is most effective during spring and autumn when trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. In spring, focus on the period from March to May, coinciding with the hatching of midges and small aquatic insects. Autumn, particularly September to October, is another prime time as trout prepare for winter, feeding aggressively.
Use this fly in overcast conditions or when there's a light ripple on the water, as it mimics the natural movement of emerging insects. It's particularly effective in still waters and reservoirs where trout are cruising near the surface.

How does the Turrall Claret Diawl Bach Wet Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Claret Diawl Bach Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the nymph stage of aquatic insects, particularly midges and small mayflies. This fly mimics the emerging stage when these insects are transitioning from the nymph to the adult form, a period when they are highly vulnerable and abundant in the water.
Fish, especially trout, target these emerging nymphs as they are an easy and nutritious food source. The claret colour and subtle movement of the fly's hackle effectively replicate the natural appearance and behaviour of these insects, making it an irresistible target for feeding fish.
