HITCHMAN – Black and Gold # 10 – 14

Small

The overall length of the V-FLY series is a 35-millimetre wing – but a body of only 15 millimetres – equivalent in length to a # 8 hook… But it is a difficult fly to compare to a fly tied to a hook

Special details on tubing

An essential part of the HITCHMAN series of riffling hitch flies is the decor you find on the flanks (sides) of the flies. We could, and we have on other riffling hitch flies, used holographic tinsel that we have wound around the body of the flies, this time we have chosen only to decorate the sides of the tubing, leaving the tubing still clear so that light could shine through the tube/fly giving it a lifelike appearance.
It may look like we have coloured the tubing – this is not the case; it is, in fact, the colour of the holographic tape/tinsel that is reflected in the tubing.

Iridescent pixel mylar

The Hitchman series have a unique appearance based on our experience with various low-water lures and flies for salmon and trout – Adding these green iridescent pixels to the head of the fly has proven to be very successful. The iridescent material is glued onto the fly with super-glue

Delicate micro flies perfected to trail on the surface

All Fishmadman hitch tube flies are based on the same clever system that will enable you to fish with different hooks.

The line is entered through a hole in the belly or side of the fly – This will make the fly pull to the surface and wake. Due to the design of the tube system, the fly will hitch with ease even in slack water – We use fine hair from small squirrels as this has proven to be unrivalled material for these subtle micro wake flies.
