Fulling Mill Christopher Bassano's Shaving Brush - Claret

Claret has been quietly working for a century

Claret is not imitating anything in particular, and it has still been catching evening fish for well over a century, which is why it turns up in bumbles, dabblers and half the loch-style boxes in the country. This is that colour on an emerging mayfly shape, with a stubby upright deer hair wing that both makes the silhouette and keeps a low-riding fly findable. A staple for evening risers and lakes.
