Micro Frances Fly - tied on tube

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.

A series of dwarf Frances flies

This micro tube fly – Is part of a series of very small Frances flies – tied to perfection…with carefully chosen material .

Simply the best Frances flies on the market – Tied just like we want them

No stiff feelers
Specially dyed Tanuki fox hair from the paws of the fox
Tied on the famous Partridge Long Shank X2B hooks
Hackle from US Whiting –
Real silvered thread –
The right color red Icelandic wool
Fine strands of Veinards fantastic Fringe tinsel

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.

We envision that this pattern with time will become a favoured pattern for steelhead anglers on the West Coast of North America…

Success has many fathers

Right; An original Frances fly by the fly tiers that worked with Peter Dean – Or actually it is the next generation of the Frances fly called The Black Eyed Prawn – or The BEP The BEP is almost identical to the Frances Fly – except for the two black beads attached to the top of the fly.
