Micro Frances tube fly Red

The Frances fly is a famous shrimp – prawn pattern that fishes well all through the season

A compact and rather peculiar fly that has a very hypnotic grip on Atlantic salmon. This a tiny version tied on our 3.2 Riffling Hitch tube.

Present the Micro Frances fly drifting towards the fish

I prefer to fish this and other shrimp flies drifting toward the fish – It is like the flies presented in this style… attract the salmon in a special way. A practical suggestion in relation to such a presentation would be; to cast the fly to known salmon lies in a way that will allow you to follow the fly to the spot – with a loose line…

You’ll need to have some of these on your trip to Island, Scotland or Norway…

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.
