Dry Hackled Blue Dun Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Dry Hackled Blue Dun is a classic trout fly, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating the natural blue-winged olive mayflies. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple in anglers' boxes since the 19th century, celebrated for its ability to entice even the most discerning trout.
Key features include its distinctive blue-grey hackle and slender body, which perfectly mimic the delicate appearance of emerging duns. The fly's design ensures it sits high on the water, making it highly visible and irresistible to surface-feeding trout. Ideal for clear streams and rivers, the Blue Dun is a must-have for any fly fishing enthusiast seeking success on the water..

Dry Hackled Blue Dun Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Dry Hackled Blue Dun is best used in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are feeding on the surface. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, ensuring a drag-free presentation. Use a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural movement.
Employ a dead-drift technique, occasionally twitching the fly gently to mimic the subtle movements of an emerging insect. During hatches, position yourself downstream of rising fish and cast upstream, allowing the fly to float into the trout's feeding lane. Adjust your position and casting angle to match the wind and water conditions for optimal results.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Dry Hackled Blue Dun is most effective during the spring and autumn months when mayfly hatches are prevalent. In spring, focus on late April to early June, as this is when the Blue Winged Olive and other similar species are active. Autumn offers another prime period from late September to early November, coinciding with the second hatch of olives. This fly excels in overcast conditions with a light breeze, which encourages surface feeding. Use it in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are more likely to rise to the surface, making it an ideal choice for targeting selective feeders during these key hatch periods.

How does the Turrall Dry Hackled Blue Dun Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Dry Hackled Blue Dun fly is designed to mimic the subimago stage of the Blue Winged Olive mayfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. This stage occurs when the mayfly emerges from the water, transitioning from nymph to adult. The fly's delicate blue-grey hackles and slender body replicate the mayfly's appearance as it rests on the water's surface, drying its wings before taking flight.
Trout target this stage because the mayflies are vulnerable and abundant, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The fly's realistic presentation entices trout to strike, making it a favourite among anglers.
