About the Heather Fly Trout Fly
I have developed the Heather Fly for the 'Jocks' of the Lake of Morterth.
The information I was given is that this is similar to our Hawthorn fly except that the trailing legs are red not black. Those that fish with the red legs variety catch - those that using other colours are not. Trevor
Expert Tip:
Two fly fishing clubs of two different Police forces in Scotland, are very, very happy with this pattern.

Comments from other fly fishermen
I've been using, and catching, on a standard Hawthorn Fly whist the Heather Flies have been out on our reservoir. I've found them to be more than adequate. - Posted by Anonymous on 14/08/2009
