Fulling Mill Tungsten SR Orange Tag - Barbless Jig

Orange, for the water pink cannot cut through

Orange holds its colour deeper and in dirtier water than pink does, so this is the tag jig for heavy flows, snowmelt and the days when the river is carrying a load. The trigger sits at the tail on a dark body, so it reads as a small dark insect with something bright behind it rather than a lump of colour. Fish it as the heavy fly in a two-nymph rig and let it find the bottom while a natural pattern rides above.
