from the Turrall Double Trout Fly Collection.

The Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking success in both rivers and still waters. Originating from the UK, this fly has been a staple in fly boxes since the 19th century, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating a variety of aquatic insects.
Key features include its soft grouse hackle, which provides lifelike movement, and the rich claret body that mimics the natural hues of emerging insects. This design is particularly effective during the early season when trout are actively feeding on nymphs and emergers.
With a proven track record, the Grouse & Claret remains a trusted fly for both novice and experienced anglers, ensuring a productive day on the water..

Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise effectiveness, employ a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to drift naturally. Use a dead-drift presentation method, allowing the fly to move with the current, mimicking natural insect behaviour. For retrieves, a slow figure-of-eight retrieve can be effective, imitating the subtle movements of emerging insects. Tactics include targeting areas with visible trout activity, such as near weed beds or under overhanging trees, where trout are likely to be feeding on emerging insects.

Key Seasons - when is this

Double Trout Fly

most effective?
The Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months, aligning with key hatch periods. In spring, from March to May, it mimics emerging insects, making it ideal for targeting trout feeding on early hatches. Autumn, particularly September to October, is another prime time as trout are actively feeding before winter. This fly excels in overcast conditions and slightly windy days, which create a natural drift. Use it in rivers and streams with moderate flow, where it can imitate the movement of natural prey effectively.

How does the Turrall Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Grouse & Claret Double Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of aquatic insects, particularly caddisflies and mayflies, which are crucial in a trout's diet. As these insects transition from nymphs to adults, they become vulnerable and are often found struggling at the water's surface. This fly's claret body and soft hackle imitate the natural colours and movement of these insects during emergence. Fish target this stage because the insects are easy prey, providing a rich source of protein. The fly's design effectively attracts trout by resembling this critical and abundant food source.
