A popular, classic wet fly pattern used for trout fishing, particularly in lochs and reservoirs. It's designed to mimic a bumblebee, with a distinct color pattern and fluttering motion that can attract fish, especially during mayfly hatches. The palmered hackles on the fly mimic the insect legs movement on the surface film, making it an effective attractor.

Imitates: The bumble fly is designed to resemble a bumblebee, though not a direct imitation of the insect itself. The palmered hackles create a "fluttery" action on the water surface, attracting fish.

METHOD

Bumbleflies are commonly fished as wet flies, meaning they are allowed to sink and drift with the current. They can also be dapped, meaning they are allowed to sink and then fished as a wet fly.

We can not be held responsible for pricing errors due to software mal-functions, or human error. This website operates on an 'invitation to treat' basis and not as an 'offer for sale'.

We normally keep limited stock of flies due to the diversity of the patterns. We may have to tie some of the patterns on order. Lead time to delivery is normally in about 2 weeks but this may take up to 4 weeks if the order is large.

The amount of time that it takes from the time you order to the time the flies reach the shipping address may depends on the following factors.
a) The pattern of the fly: some patternsare more complex and require longer times to tie
b) The quantity of the order: Our flies are hand-made and larger orders will take longer to fulfil.
c) Holidays: Public holidays and religious holidays occurring throughout the year might affect your order lead time.
