FAQs

What size hook should I use?

The Fulling Mill O/E Freshwater Shrimp Wtd is available in sizes 14 and 16. Choose the size that best matches the natural shrimp in the river you are fishing.

Can I use this fly in still water?

While designed primarily for rivers, you can try this fly in still water. However, it may be less effective than in a river setting.

How do I tie this fly to my leader?

Use a reliable knot such as a clinch knot or a loop knot to attach the fly to your tippet. A loop knot allows for better fly movement.

How often should I replace the fly?

Replace the fly when it becomes damaged, frayed, or the hook is bent. Regular inspection will ensure optimal performance.

What type of tippet should I use?

Use a tippet strength appropriate for the size of fish you are targeting and the conditions. Fluorocarbon tippet can provide added invisibility.

How should I store the flies?

Store the flies in a fly box to protect them from damage, ensuring they stay in good condition.

Troubleshooting

Fly not catching fish.

Check your presentation, depth, and retrieval speed. Make sure you are using the correct fly size and color for the conditions. Consider trying a different fly pattern.

Fly getting caught on the bottom.

Adjust your leader or tippet length. Try using a lighter tippet or a different fly line to control the depth of your fly.

Fly is not floating properly.

Ensure the fly is dry before each cast. Use a fly floatant to help the fly stay on the surface if using a dry fly technique.
