Eternal Optimist Spey Tail - Tube Fly

  • £3.95

Introducing the Spey Tail Salmon fly range.

 A meticulously crafted fusion of two iconic spring salmon fly styles, designed by renowned fly-tyer Stuart Foxall, the Spey Tail combines elements of his two favourite spring salmon fly styles- the Monkey and the traditional bucktail tube.

The bucktail performs well in faster flows where the fibres vibrate enticingly. The mobile Monkey style wing is slim, slinky and slender, perfect for tempting fish in slower flows. Atlantic Salmon find this enticing combination of styles totally irresistible.

A marriage made in heaven? We think so and have selected a range of colour schemes to suite all tastes and condition on Scotland's famous spring rivers such as the Dee, Spey, Tay and Tweed. The Spey Tail travels well and has proved itself in early season in Norway and Sweden.

The Eternal Optimist is a favourite spring pattern, also a fantastic fly for 'green waters' we have had a lot of success with them in Norwegian rivers.
