Diawl Bach Red Head Fly

About the Diawl Bach Red Head Trout Fly

The name Diawl Bach is Welsh for Little Devil, designed to mimic a range of aquatic insect larvae, making it highly versatile and attractive to fish.

The addition of a red head to the pattern provides an additional trigger point that encourages fish to strike.

For best results allow the Diawl Bach Red Head to sink, retrieve very slowly and hang fly on the lift.

Expert Tip:

Anglers value the Diawl Bach Red Head for its effectiveness across a wide range of conditions and its ability to attract fish when other patterns may fail. It can be fished on its own or as part of a team of flies on a multi-fly leader setup, and it's often used in a variety of retrieves.

For best results allow the Diawl Bach Red Head to sink, retrieve very slowly and hang fly on the lift; however some favour more erratic movements, depending on the behaviour of the fish and the conditions of the day.

Although a Welsh pattern, the Diawl Bach is a universal pattern wherever Brown Trout and Rainbows are stocked.

This is also notable pattern used at Loch Earn.
