Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fly

from the Turrall Nymph Montana Trout Fly Collection.

The Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout in both rivers and still waters. Originating from the innovative fly-tying techniques of the 20th century, this fly has become a staple in many fly boxes due to its proven effectiveness.
Key features include its elongated shank, which mimics the natural movement of aquatic insects, and its vibrant green body, designed to attract fish in various water conditions. The fly's design incorporates a bead head for added weight, ensuring it sinks quickly to the desired depth.
Known for its versatility, the Long Shank Green Montana is particularly effective during the nymphing season, enticing even the most cautious trout..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised in fast-flowing rivers and streams where trout are actively feeding. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. This mimics the movement of aquatic insects, enticing trout to strike.
For retrieves, use a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve to simulate a nymph swimming towards the surface. Vary the depth by adjusting the weight or using a floating line with a sinking tip. Tactics include targeting riffles and runs where trout are likely to be holding, and using a strike indicator to detect subtle takes.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Montana Trout Fly

most effective?
The Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the prolific hatches of mayflies and caddisflies, making it an ideal time to mimic these insects. The fly excels in cooler, overcast conditions when trout are more active near the surface. During these months, water temperatures are optimal, and the increased insect activity encourages trout to feed aggressively. For best results, use this fly in rivers and streams with moderate flow, where trout are likely to be lurking in deeper pools or near submerged structures.

How does the Turrall Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Long Shank Green Montana Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the nymph stage of aquatic insects, particularly stoneflies and mayflies, which are crucial in a trout's diet. During the nymph stage, these insects dwell near the riverbed, making them a prime target for feeding trout. The fly's elongated shank and green coloration replicate the natural appearance and movement of these nymphs as they drift in the current. Trout are drawn to this stage because nymphs are abundant, protein-rich, and relatively easy to catch, providing a substantial energy source for the fish.
