The Green Viva Hot Head Trout Fly is a dynamic and vibrant choice for anglers targeting trout. Originating from the UK, this fly is renowned for its striking green hue and fluorescent hot head, designed to attract fish in various water conditions. Its unique colour combination mimics natural prey, making it irresistible to trout. The fly's design includes a weighted head, ensuring it sinks quickly to the desired depth, increasing its effectiveness in both still and moving waters. Crafted with high-quality materials, the Green Viva is durable and reliable, making it a staple in any angler's fly box..
The Green Viva Hot Head Trout Fishing Fly is highly effective when used with a slow retrieve technique, allowing the fly to mimic the natural movement of aquatic insects. Cast the fly upstream and let it drift naturally with the current, occasionally twitching the line to create subtle movements that attract trout. This fly is particularly effective in clear waters where its vibrant colours can catch the attention of fish.
For still waters, use a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a consistent motion, imitating a swimming nymph. Vary the depth by using a sinking line or adding weight to the leader, targeting trout feeding at different levels.
Key Seasons - when is this

most effective?
The Green Viva Hot Head Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding. In spring, as the water warms, hatches of insects like mayflies and caddisflies occur, making this fly an excellent choice. Autumn is also prime time, as trout feed heavily before winter. This fly excels in overcast conditions or slightly murky waters, where its vibrant colours attract attention. During these seasons, focus on early morning or late afternoon when trout are most active, ensuring a successful fishing experience.
How does the Turrall Green Viva Hot Head Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Green Viva Hot Head Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the vibrant and enticing appearance of an emerging caddisfly, a crucial stage in a fish's diet. As caddisflies transition from larvae to adults, they become highly vulnerable, making them an easy target for trout. This fly captures the essence of the caddisfly's pupal stage, with its bright colours and movement in the water, which attract fish looking for a nutritious meal. Fish target this stage due to the abundance and ease of capture, providing them with essential energy and nutrients.
