Alexandra Wet Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Alexandra Wet Winged Trout Fly, a classic in the angling world, dates back to the late 19th century. Originally named "Lady of the Lake," it was later renamed after Princess Alexandra. This fly is renowned for its iridescent peacock herl body, which mimics the natural sheen of small fish, making it irresistible to trout. Its striking red tail and silver tinsel ribbing add to its allure, ensuring visibility in murky waters.
Known for its versatility, the Alexandra is effective in both still and moving waters, making it a staple in any angler's fly box. Its design, combining vibrant colours and reflective materials, has proven successful in attracting trout, especially in low-light conditions..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Alexandra Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a slow retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the movement of small fish or aquatic insects. Cast the fly across or slightly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, using a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain tension and control. This fly is particularly effective in overcast conditions or when the water is slightly coloured, as its iridescent wings and red body attract attention. For deeper waters, consider using a sinking line to ensure the fly reaches the desired depth.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Alexandra Wet Winged 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 sees trout preparing for winter, increasing their feeding activity, which aligns well with the Alexandra's appeal. Overcast days with a slight breeze enhance its effectiveness, as the fly mimics small fish or insects struggling in the water. Avoid using it in bright, sunny conditions or during the peak of summer when trout are less active.

How does the Turrall Alexandra Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Alexandra Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic small baitfish or aquatic insects, particularly during their vulnerable stages. This fly is often used to imitate the emerging stage of insects like caddisflies or mayflies, which are crucial in a fish's diet. During emergence, these insects transition from water to air, making them easy prey for trout. The shimmering wings and vibrant body of the Alexandra fly attract fish by resembling the glistening wings of these insects as they struggle to break free from the water's surface, making it an irresistible target for hungry trout.
