The Butcher Winged Wet Fly is a highly effective, bold traditional pattern with a dark wing, red body and reflective silver elements. Its strong contrast makes it an effective searching fly for lochs, lakes and reservoirs, where it may suggest fry or simply act as an attractor.
Fish it in a wet-fly team with steady pulls and deliberate pauses. It is particularly useful in coloured water, low light and a rolling wave. Be ready for a firm pull as the fly works through the taking water.
