FAQs

What is the best way to present this fly?

Use a drag-free drift. Cast upstream and allow the fly to drift naturally in the current.

What size Pink Tag Jig should I use?

The Fulling Mill Barbless Pink Tag Jig is available in sizes 12 and 14. Choose the size based on the current conditions and the size of the Grayling in the river. Generally, smaller sizes are preferred in clear water.

Can this fly be used in still water?

While designed for rivers, it might catch a fish in a still water. However, the design is most effective in moving water.

How do I maintain my flies?

Rinse your flies with fresh water after fishing, and allow them to dry completely before storing them in a fly box. Inspect hooks regularly and replace any that show signs of wear or rust.

What type of leader should I use?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty hooking fish.

Ensure a sharp hook point and adjust your striking technique to compensate for the barbless design. Use a quick, firm lift of the rod.
