The Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking success in both rivers and still waters.

Its design features a slender olive body, crafted from peacock herl, and a soft hackle made from hen feathers, which mimics the natural movement of aquatic insects. The fly's subtle colouration and realistic profile make it irresistible to trout, particularly during mayfly hatches. Known for its versatility, the Greenwells Glory is a must-have in any angler's fly box, offering reliability and a rich history of catching fish..

Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised in river fishing, particularly in streams with moderate flow. To maximise effectiveness, cast upstream and allow the fly to drift naturally with the current, mimicking an emerging insect. Use a dead-drift presentation, ensuring the fly moves at the same speed as the water.
Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to imitate a struggling insect, enticing trout to strike. This fly is particularly effective during hatches of small dark olives, making it ideal for use in spring and autumn. Adjust the depth by varying the weight of the leader or using a sinking line.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the hatching of various upwinged flies, making it an ideal time to mimic these natural insects. The fly performs best in overcast conditions or when there's a light drizzle, as trout are more likely to feed near the surface. During these months, focus on fishing in rivers and streams where the water is clear and the flow is moderate, as these conditions enhance the fly's effectiveness in attracting trout.

How does the Turrall Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Greenwells Glory Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the appearance of a mayfly in its nymph or emerging stage. This fly is particularly effective during the mayfly hatch, a critical time when trout actively feed on these insects as they transition from water to air. The fly's subtle colours and delicate hackle imitate the mayfly's wings and body, making it an irresistible target for trout. Fish are drawn to this stage because emerging mayflies are vulnerable and abundant, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The Greenwells Glory thus capitalises on this natural feeding frenzy, enticing trout with its lifelike presentation.
