Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 24 flies in this Red Tag pattern. Plus, there will be lots left over, so additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

The Red Tag is an absolute classic dry fly. A cunning beetle imitation, it works when terrestrials are on the move, but it also delivers results when there isn’t any hatch to actually match. It can be fished as a general searching pattern on the surface until waterlogged, then dragged through a swing subsurface for fish that aren’t quite looking up. There are many variations on this pattern, including wet and dry versions. This is a dry fly variation of the Red Tag, tied the the way I like them to fish with myself.  Although, you could very easily modify this with a different hackle and hook to tie a wet version.

Included in this pack are the following :

Ahrex FW500 Dry Fly Hooks #14

Peacock Hurl – Small Bundle

UTC 140 Thread Dark Brwon

Tag Yarn – Red

Dry Saddle Hackle Pack
