About the Black Vixen Trout Fly

The 'Black Vixen'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 twitchess, 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
