Turrall Wet Hackled Flies

The timeless appeal of Turrall

Wet Hackled Flies

a must-have for any trout angler targeting fish in rivers or stillwaters. These traditional wet flies have stood the test of time thanks to their natural presentation and versatility. With supple movement in the water, they excel in tempting trout throughout the season.

Expertly tied by Turrall’s skilled team using high-quality materials, wet hackled trout flies feature soft, swept-back hackles that pulse enticingly in the current. This key tying method creates a lifelike imitation of emerging insects or drowned flies. Each pattern—such as the Black Pennel, Peter Ross, or March Brown—follows time-honoured recipes, often combining floss, tinsel, and dubbed bodies with soft hen or partridge hackles for optimum movement.

When fishing Turrall wet flies, cast across and let them swing through the flow, or retrieve slowly in stillwaters to provoke a take. Fish them as single flies or in teams of two or three for best results. These flies work particularly well in overcast conditions or during hatches when trout are feeding just beneath the surface.

As a long-established and trusted retailer, troutcatchers offers a full range of Turrall wet hackled fly patterns, perfect for anglers seeking reliable quality, classic designs, and consistent performance on the water.
