Tippet and Red
Hebridean tippet wet fly
Trout · Sea troutSubsurface
Golden pheasant tippet feathers with a red hackle — the simplest of wet flies, tied for generations and refined through use.
Fish this when
Spring through summer on loughs and lochs. Fish it on the point or middle dropper of a drifting team or as a single pattern.
Why it works
Pheasant tippet is naturally mobile. Red hackle is reliable across conditions. The pattern is simple and works exactly as intended.
