Fake flies
Fake flies are usually made from a variety of materials, including fur, feathers, synthetic materials and various adhesives. These materials allow for precise and realistic reproduction of details. They are available in different sizes and types to suit different fish diets and fishing conditions. The choice of colour is very important for artificial flies. Live flies and insect larvae can come in a variety of colours and the choice should take into account water colour, light conditions and fish preferences. Flies usually have built-in or interchangeable hooks. Weights can also be used to control depth. On TackleBait's Webshop you're sure to find the best possible artificial flies, choosing from brands such as JMC, Kamasaki or Whiting.
Flies are most often used for surface fishing, i.e. fishing near the surface, or for fishing in deeper water, depending on the type of fly they imitate. These artificial lures mimic the movement, colour and shape of live flies or insect larvae to attract predatory fish. Choosing the right size, colour and movement pattern of artificial fly is key to successful fishing.
