A fly box without a black fly is incomplete. Black works in bright sun, cloud, clear water, stained water and even at night where regulations allow it. Fished just under the surface, its strong silhouette can trigger sea trout, perch and zander against the evening sky. After heavy rain, when a river turns the colour of coffee with milk, a black fly is often the most readable option.
 
This is not simply a scaled-down version of a large pattern. It is a complete fly designed around the way predators feed on small prey.
 
The unweighted construction gives you full control of the retrieve, while the fly line determines the fishing depth. For spinning, we recommend pairing it with a Cheburashka weight; the presentation is very different from standard soft plastics and hard lures, which often makes fish react with curiosity or aggression.
 
Carefully selected Snow Runner gives the fly spring, movement and life even during a slow retrieve. Flash is used only where the pattern needs it, rather than as a random decorative effect.
