This Mylar fry pattern was first devised on Rutland Water over a decade ago, and by all accounts it was Rutland fishing ace Dave Doherty who first used this style of fly to great effect.
Fish it subsurface, or even suspended below a floating fry. Personally, I like fishing them singly to fish that are crashing into fry and then sipping up the injured fry!
This super realistic imitation is tied on a unique gold heavyweight wet fly hook for extra fish appeal and complies with international competition sizes.
Make sure you use a heavy breaking strain leader, as takes with this pattern can be savage!
