A classic wet fly fishing pattern, known for its effectiveness in various freshwater environments, particularly for attracting trout. It's often used as a dropper in traditional loch-style fishing setups, acting as an attractor or an imitation of a large red midge. The fly is characterized by a red body and soft hackle, making it a popular choice among anglers. Some believe it dates back to the 17th century, potentially mentioned in Izaak Walton's fishing book, according to Naukeli.The Soldier Palmer is considered a versatile fly that can also be used as a dry fly imitation or a nymph.

Imitates: Large midges

METHOD

Especially good when large red buzzers are hatching on the surface. It will even work as an attractor when fished on a sinking line.
