THE RED TAG ATTRACTOR
One of the best attractor fly. A real classic this one. I use the Red Tag when there is no hatch on the water or I simply can’t figure out what to use. The Red Tag is both a trout and grayling fly. Also try to switch the rooster hackle with one from a hen – then you’ve got a great wet fly.
General
Not much to say about it. It’s old and it’s a classic. One of the best attractors in my opinion.
