Bloody Butcher Wet Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Bloody Butcher Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic pattern with roots tracing back to the 19th century, originally crafted for salmon fishing in the UK. Its name is derived from the vibrant red and silver colour scheme, reminiscent of a butcher's apron. This fly is renowned for its effectiveness in attracting trout, particularly in murky waters.
Key features include a red body, silver ribbing, and a wing made from mallard or teal feathers, creating a lifelike movement in the water. The Bloody Butcher's design mimics small baitfish, making it irresistible to trout. Its versatility and proven track record make it a staple in any angler's fly box..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Bloody Butcher 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 an injured or struggling insect. This fly works well when fished on a floating line with a long leader, allowing it to drift naturally with the current. For presentation, cast upstream and let it swing across the current, maintaining tension to feel subtle takes. During overcast days or in low-light conditions, the fly's vibrant colours can attract trout from a distance, making it an excellent choice for early morning or late evening fishing.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Bloody Butcher 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 mayflies and caddisflies occur, making this fly an excellent choice to mimic emerging insects. Autumn is also ideal, as trout feed aggressively to build energy for winter. Use this fly in overcast conditions or after rain when water levels rise, as it stands out in murky waters. During these periods, the fly's vibrant colours and movement can entice strikes from both resident and migratory trout.

How does the Turrall Bloody Butcher Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Bloody Butcher Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the appearance and movement of small baitfish or aquatic insects during their vulnerable stages. This fly is particularly effective in imitating the emerging stage of caddisflies or mayflies, which are a crucial part of a trout's diet. As these insects transition from nymphs to adults, they become easy targets for fish due to their increased visibility and reduced mobility. The fly's vibrant colours and wet wing design replicate the shimmering, struggling motion of these insects as they break through the water's surface, enticing trout to strike.
