Leven Spider Wet Hackled Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Leven Spider Wet Hackled Trout Fly is a classic pattern renowned for its effectiveness in enticing trout in UK waters. Originating from the Loch Leven area, this fly has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, where it was crafted to mimic the natural insects found in the region. Its design features a sparse, soft hackle that pulsates in the water, imitating the movement of aquatic insects, making it irresistible to trout.
Key features include its simple yet effective construction, typically using partridge or hen hackle, and a slim body often made from silk or thread. This fly excels in both still and moving waters, proving its versatility and reliability. Anglers appreciate its ability to attract fish even in challenging conditions, making it a staple in any fly box..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Leven Spider Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is best used in river and stillwater environments. To maximise effectiveness, employ a downstream and across presentation, allowing the fly to swing naturally in the current. This technique mimics an emerging insect, enticing trout to strike. Use a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to simulate a struggling insect. In stillwaters, a figure-of-eight retrieve can be effective, maintaining a consistent movement that attracts attention. Fish the fly on a floating or intermediate line, adjusting the depth with leader length to target feeding zones.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Leven Spider Wet Hackled 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 become more frequent, making this fly an excellent choice. Autumn also sees increased insect activity before the colder months, providing another prime opportunity. This fly excels in overcast conditions or when there's a light drizzle, as these conditions often encourage trout to feed near the surface. Use it in rivers and streams with moderate flow for the best results.

How does the Turrall Leven Spider Wet Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Leven Spider Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the emerging stage of aquatic insects, particularly caddisflies and mayflies, which are crucial in a trout's diet. As these insects transition from their nymphal stage to adulthood, they become vulnerable and are often found just beneath the water's surface. The fly's soft hackles and subtle movement mimic the struggling motion of these emerging insects, making it an irresistible target for trout. Fish are drawn to this stage because the insects are abundant, easy to catch, and provide a rich source of nutrients, making the Leven Spider an effective choice for anglers.
