Wickhams Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Wickham's Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fly, a classic in the angler's arsenal, was created by Reverend Alfred Henry Wickham in the late 19th century. This fly is renowned for its effectiveness in imitating a variety of insects, making it a versatile choice for trout fishing. Its distinctive design features a gold tinsel body, red game hackle, and peacock herl, which together create an alluring shimmer that attracts fish in both clear and murky waters.

Key features include its durability and buoyancy, thanks to the quality materials used in its construction. The fly's vibrant colours and reflective elements mimic the natural movement of insects, enticing even the most cautious trout. Ideal for use in rivers and streams, the Wickham's Fancy remains a favourite among anglers for its proven success and timeless appeal..

Wickhams Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Wickham's Fancy Dry Fly is best used in clear, fast-flowing streams where trout are actively 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 to mimic the movement of an emerging insect. For retrieves, short, gentle strips can be effective in enticing strikes. Focus on casting near riffles and eddies where trout are likely to be holding.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Wickhams Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak of insect hatches, making it an ideal time to mimic emerging insects. The fly excels during mayfly and caddisfly hatches, especially in clear, fast-flowing streams and rivers. Overcast days with a slight breeze enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to rise to the surface. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times, as trout are actively feeding.

How does the Turrall Wickhams Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Wickham's Fancy Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of various aquatic insects, particularly mayflies. As these insects emerge from the water, transitioning from nymph to adult, they become a prime target for trout. The fly's shimmering gold body and red tail imitate the reflective quality of the insect's wings and body as it breaks the water's surface. Trout are drawn to this stage because the insects are vulnerable and abundant, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The fly's hackle helps it sit on the water's surface, enhancing its resemblance to a freshly emerged adult.
