Fulling Mill Bill Becks Lurex Cat

Flat tinsel, and a harder shine

Lurex lies flat and smooth, so where its Krystal-flashed sibling scatters light this one returns it in a single clean flash as the fly turns. That carries further in coloured water and under heavy cloud, and it is the better choice when you want to be found rather than inspected. Built small on purpose for softer presentations, swinging down and across, or as the second fly in a winter two-fly rig. Downsize to this when the big streamers are being followed and refused.
