Frances Micro conehead Tube Fly – Olive and Orange 1/2″

Frances Micro conehead Tube Fly – Olive/Orange  1/2″ is a variation on the famous shrimp – prawn pattern that fishes well all through the season. A compact and rather peculiar looking fly that has a hypnotic grip on Atlantic salmon.We have tied this version on a light 1/2 aluminium tube, dark olive wool body and an olive hackle – Throat or rear hairs from Tanuki fox – feelers made from hair from a bear. all finished off with a micro brass conehead – The fly also features our great hook guard

The Frances fly was originally devised by the late UK fly tier Mr. Peter Dean This was in 1968 The fly was a special commission job for his client Mr. David Blythe who were about to embark on a journey to fish various salmon rivers on Iceland – The fly was a great success and this odd shrimp pattern has ever sins been a favoured fly on Iceland and at many other rivers in Europa.
