The original Butcher fly was named the ‘Moon’s Fly’, invented over 170 years ago by two gentlemen from Tunbridge Wells in England, a Mr Moon and a Mr Jewhurst. Moon was a butcher, and the colours of the fly are supposed to represent the hallmarks of his trade, red blood and a blue apron. The Butcher catches fish on stillwaters and on rivers to this day.
Imitates: Dead flies, aquatic insects or even an emerging insect.
METHOD
Fished beneath the water surface, this fly is great when the water is a bit rough and the waves might be a bit dirty. Quite a good fly to get lazy fish moving.
