Spy Fly

No comments yet

Tube fly fishing for Salmon, Seatrout & Steelhead in clear water and sunshine can be difficult to achieve success in, but often small, lightly dressed flies in discreet colors are the key to getting fish to take your fly.
Danish fly tyer and salmon angler Casper Hansen loves targeting fish in tough conditions, and in this video he ties a brilliant Spy Fly – a lightly dressed tube fly designed for situations where the water is low, clear, and the sun is high.
Time and time again, this fly has proven its effectiveness, tricking Salmon, Seatrout & Steelhead into taking when conditions seem almost impossible.
Small and discreet are the key words for the Spy Fly.

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
