Stoat Tail #8 Double AL15 - Tel 0151 203 6111

This fly derived its name from the fact that it was first winged with the black tip of a stoats tail. The dark silhouette it creates works in crystal clear summer level water as well as the colored water of a spring flood. There is debate over it's origins. In "Trout and Salmon Flies" by Sutherland and Chance it is listed as originating at Park on the river Dee in Scotland. In the "Encyclopedia of Fly Fishing" by Conrad Voss Bark the Stoats tail is credited to James Wright of Sprouston-on-Tweed (Scotland) made during 1870-80's. This fly will take both 'stale' and 'fresh' fish in all hook sizes and weather conditions. A great all round sea trout fly tied on a size #8 double.
