Turrall Fry Flies

When trout are locked onto fry, few patterns are as effective as Turrall

Fry Flies.

These expertly tied trout fry imitations are absolutely deadly – especially later in the season, when larger-than-average fish aggressively chase baitfish in shoals. Whether you're casting on stillwaters or reservoirs, these flies can provoke heart-pounding takes from cruising predators.

As the autumn months (September through November) roll in, trout become highly territorial, turning their attention to small fish and fry. You’ll often spot the telltale surface disturbance—bubbling water and jumping coarse fish—indicating a feeding frenzy. That’s your cue. Cast a floating fry pattern, retrieve it with twitchy movements or short strips to mimic the erratic behaviour of stunned or injured fry. Fish these flies as you would a lure—and hold on tight.

Turrall Floating Fry, along with other proven fly fishing fry patterns, offer a reliable edge when targeting predatory trout. Their realistic profiles and buoyancy give you flexibility to fish shallow or just under the surface, where fry are most active. Best of all, these patterns aren’t just for autumn – they can produce right through the year, whenever fish are hunting.
