from the Turrall Wet Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Red Tag Wet Hackled Trout Fly, a classic in fly fishing, originated in the 19th century by Englishman Martyn Flynn. Renowned for its versatility, this fly is a staple in any angler's collection. Its distinctive red wool tail, peacock herl body, and soft brown hackle make it irresistible to trout, especially in still waters and rivers.
The Red Tag's design mimics emerging insects, making it highly effective in attracting fish. Its simplicity and proven success have cemented its place in fly fishing history, making it a must-have for both novice and seasoned anglers..

Red Tag Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Red Tag Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is best used in rivers and streams, particularly effective during the early season when trout are actively feeding. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a downstream and across presentation, allowing the fly to swing naturally in the current. This technique mimics emerging insects, enticing trout to strike. Use a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to simulate a struggling insect. For deeper pools, add a slight weight to the leader to ensure the fly reaches the desired depth. Adjust your tactics based on water conditions and trout activity for optimal results.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Red Tag 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, insect hatches become more frequent, making this fly ideal for imitating emerging insects. During autumn, trout feed aggressively to prepare for winter, and the Red Tag's vibrant colours can trigger strikes. This fly excels in overcast conditions or slightly stained waters, where its visibility and movement can attract attention. Use it during mayfly and caddis hatches for optimal results, particularly in rivers and streams with moderate flow.

How does the Turrall Red Tag Wet Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Red Tag Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of aquatic insects, particularly caddisflies and midges. As these insects transition from their larval to adult stages, they become vulnerable and are often found just below the water's surface. This fly's red tag and hackled body imitate the movement and appearance 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 them a crucial part of the fish's diet.
