The Wickham's Fancy Wet Winged Trout Fly, a classic in the angler's arsenal, was created by Reverend Alfred Henry Wickham in the late 19th century. This fly is renowned for its effectiveness in imitating a variety of insects, making it a versatile choice for trout fishing. Its distinctive design features a golden tinsel body, red tail, and peacock herl thorax, all topped with a pair of soft hen hackle wings.
The fly's shimmering body and natural movement in water attract trout, especially in fast-flowing streams. Its proven track record and adaptability make it a must-have for any fly fishing enthusiast..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Wickham's Fancy Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in rivers and streams where trout are actively feeding. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, mimicking an emerging insect. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly moves at the same speed as the water.
For retrieves, employ a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve to imitate a swimming insect, or use short, sharp strips to mimic a struggling insect. Tactics include targeting riffles and runs where trout are likely to be holding, and varying the depth by adjusting the weight or using a sinking line to reach deeper pools.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Wickhams Fancy 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 aquatic insects, making it an ideal time to mimic emerging flies. The fly performs best in overcast conditions or when the water is slightly coloured, as it can attract trout with its bright, flashy appearance. During these months, focus on using it in rivers and streams where trout are actively feeding on hatching insects, ensuring a higher chance of success.

How does the Turrall Wickhams Fancy Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Wickham's Fancy Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the appearance of a hatching mayfly, specifically during its subimago stage. This stage is crucial as the mayfly emerges from the water, transitioning from a nymph to a dun. The fly's shimmering gold body and delicate wings replicate the mayfly's reflective qualities, attracting trout that are keenly focused on this abundant food source. Fish target this stage because the emerging insects are vulnerable and plentiful, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The fly's design effectively triggers the trout's predatory instincts, making it a popular choice among anglers.
