    Just some history of the red Francis fly that I dug up a while ago as to the origins of the fly , the Icelanders use a red francis, a black francis and a mixed red and black.

    This is cool, never would think of tying one on here in NL but I think I may just have to tie a few up and give ‘em a go !

    Great video, thanks! That hook doesn’t look like a CS42 at all though.

    Prawn Hypnosis
    The Frances fly - salmon scrimp fly
    Prawns have a hypnotic grip on the Salmonidae family, so prawns and shrimps are banned on many salmon rivers worldwide. Even a prawn’s dried-up head or thorax can bring salmon and trout thrashing through the surface on a hot summer’s day… Is it the way that sunlight shines through the texture of prawns? - The silhouette? - Is it its behaviour in the water? - It is hard to tell, but the prawns and shrimps in their many forms are important food for salmon, and salmon are very happy to see them both in river and sea.

      @@newfoundlandflyfisher No problem, I like knowing the history behind the fly. I have an original pattern for the Blue Charm unfortunately the signature was worn by age and was difficult to read as was the date which was 1835 or 1838, his namer was William. A bit more ornate than the known Blue Charm, LOL.
