The reason they work so well is because of the way a trout’s brain works. These fly designs are based on the most important ‘triggers’ to a trout’s feeding response – a fly’s size, shape and posture in the water.

Well proven for fly fishing in New Zealand, with these flies you can confidently fish for trout, anywhere they swim.
This set of tips are taken from the comprehensive build book included in all our Epic "Ready to Wrap Rod Kits"
