A miniature commotion fly
Micro Riffling Hitch V-Fly – Gold Stoat Tail (New 2026 Edition)
A refined Gold edition of this classic summer salmon pattern, developed following strong customer demand. Expertly transformed into a true miniature surface hitch fly, designed to excel in bright conditions and low water.
Its subtle golden tones make it especially effective during June, July, and August, while its compact profile allows it to perform both as a micro hitch fly and a miniature regular tube fly. Widely proven on Scottish, Scandinavian, and Canadian rivers.
The Stoat Tail series remains an essential choice for anglers pursuing summer salmon — and the Gold version is a must-have addition for the 2026 season.
Small
Slightly smaller than the V-FLY group at 20 mm (0,78 inch) body- equivalent in length to a #10 – 14 hook.. But then again, it is a difficult fly to compare to a fly tied on hook
Summer time fly
Tip! Try to run this fly in the fast shallow run – it has an exquisite ability to get those sea trout and grills to the surface

The riffling hitch tube fly system – In detail
Delicate micro flies perfected to trail in the surface
All Fishmadman hitch tube flies is 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 squirrel as this has proven to be unrivaled material for these subtle micro wake flies.
Technical details
Probably the best hitch tubing – ever made…
We think we have the right to brag… when we say the best tubing ever made. All other tubing found in fly tying shops could not live up to our expectation. Together with a chemical engineer we developed a new PVC-free plastic formula for the solemn purpose of producing a tube for riffling hitch.
- It will withstand a lot of mechanical wear
- Very low memory – This will ensure that the tube fall back into place after use (hook removed)
- Will work in a wide range of temperatures including frost cold days.
This is the same tube we use for our wake flies and other bigger tube flies. See the tube in our shop
Squirrel tail in the right size
We use hair from very small or juvenile squirrels – This type of fine hair is not too stiff – nor too fine…but just perfect for these subtle surface flies.
