由 Dawn patrol What It Mimics
The Red Tag fly imitates various aquatic insects, such as mayflies, caddisflies, and midges. Its namesake red tag replicates the egg sac of a spawning insect, triggering fish to strike. The bushy hackle collar mimics legs and wings, while the peacock herl body adds an enticing iridescent shimmer.
Where It’s Used
A favorite among fly anglers worldwide, the Red Tag excels in rivers and stillwaters, effectively targeting trout, grayling, and other species. It performs best in insect-rich waters, closely resembling natural prey. For optimal results, fish it near the surface or slightly below, using a dead drift or subtle twitches to imitate struggling insects.
