Silver Invicta
Slim silver wet fly
Trout · Sea troutSubsurface
The shiny cousin of the original, for when the plain Invicta is being refused and fish want something brighter and more visible.
Fish this when
Spring and summer on rivers and stillwaters. Fish it as a middle dropper on a loch team or on the point when fish are in shallow water.
Why it works
Silver body is highly visible at depth and in coloured water. The speckled wing and red tail provide the trusted Invicta silhouette with extra shine.
