This Francis Fly has been tied in house with wild boar bristle and pheasant tail to give a realistic shrimp like movement.

This pattern has evolved with two coneheads creating a heavy pattern that can be used as a conventional fly and as a nymph that can be teased in front of salmon that are lying in pools.

Bounce her along and this raise it up and hold on tight.

I tied an annual order for these flies for a fisher who came to the Tweed with the request for 8 wild boar feelers in the tail, these look great, nothing like any other Francis I tie.
