Black Fancy
A great fly from the Fancy series, resembling a few other flies. Fun and a nice addition to the collection. Treble hook size 12–14. A must-have in every wallet.
This is a fly with the same colors but with a few modifications, based on a fly I’ve used a lot called Ece Spade. That fly has probably given me the best brown trout fishing I can remember, so it’s a big favorite of mine. I made a few updates, and it’s fair to call this version the “little brother” of the ES. The fly is weighted, tied on a strong SE hook with black and brown hackle in the tail, along with silver flash. The body is black chenille with a holo wing. It’s ribbed with gray Grizzly and finished with a black head. An excellent streamer fly.
