Wet Winged Flies

– a cornerstone in traditional fly fishing. Known for their lifelike presentation beneath the water’s surface, these classic wet fly patterns remain a firm favourite among seasoned and beginner anglers alike. Hand-tied to exceptional standards, they reflect Turrall’s long-standing reputation for quality craftsmanship.

Turrall Wet Flies are expertly tied with a slim, streamlined body, typically made from dubbing, floss or tinsel, combined with soft hen or cock hackles to create enticing movement in the water. The signature feature – the delicate, backward-facing wings – are carefully tied using matched slips of duck or goose quill, etc. giving the fly a natural silhouette that mimics emerging insects. Patterns such as the March Brown, Greenwell’s Glory, and Alexandra excel in rivers and stillwaters, particularly during hatches - Classics!

Fish these wet winged trout flies with a floating or intermediate line, allowing the fly to drift naturally or be retrieved slowly to imitate emerging insects. Vary your retrieve or use a team of flies to cover different depths and stimulate takes.

At troutcatchers, you’ll find a curated selection of the best wet winged flies, all tied to the exacting standards of Turrall Fishing Flies – a name trusted by fly anglers worldwide.
