Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking success in both rivers and still waters. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple since the 19th century, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating various aquatic insects. Its design features a claret-coloured body, often made from wool or silk, paired with a mallard feather wing, which provides a natural, lifelike movement in the water.
Known for its versatility, the Mallard & Claret excels in attracting trout, especially during mayfly hatches. Its subtle yet striking appearance makes it a reliable option for both novice and seasoned fishermen..

Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Mallard & Claret wet fly is best used in traditional loch-style fishing, particularly effective for brown trout. Cast across the wind and allow the fly to drift naturally with the current, maintaining a steady hand-twist retrieve to mimic an emerging insect. This fly works well when fished in a team of three, positioned on the top dropper to create a disturbance on the water's surface. Use a floating or intermediate line, depending on the depth, and employ a figure-of-eight retrieve to keep the fly just below the surface. Overcast slightly to allow the fly to sink before starting the retrieve, enhancing its natural presentation.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months. These seasons coincide with the hatching periods of various aquatic insects, making it an ideal time to mimic the natural prey of trout. In spring, the fly works well during the March Brown and Olive hatches, while in autumn, it excels during the late-season sedge hatches.
This fly is particularly effective in overcast conditions or when there's a slight ripple on the water, as it mimics the movement of emerging insects. Use it in rivers and streams where trout are actively feeding just below the surface.

How does the Turrall Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Mallard & Claret Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of aquatic insects, particularly caddisflies and mayflies, which are crucial in a trout's diet. As these insects transition from nymphs to adults, they become vulnerable, struggling to break through the water's surface tension. This fly imitates the movement and appearance of these insects during this critical phase, with its soft hackle and subtle colours resembling the natural hues of the emerging bugs. Fish target these emergers due to their abundance and ease of capture, making them an irresistible meal.
