About the Vixen Fry Trout Fly

The 'Vixen-Fry ' should ideally be fished on a floating line with a leader of about 3 m (10ft) or more. After the fly has sunk to the required depth, the retrieve should be in short pull of about half a metre (2ft), pause, some light twitches, another pull, pause and so on. This will activate the tail section, adding lifelike realism. This fly is one of the most prodigious killers in modern fishing - Trevor
