Austrian Adventure

Well it seems like an age since we went to Austria in the summer with our good friend Nick The Blank.
The weather was kind to us and the trout were as free rising as always.

The turbulent ‘pocket-water’ nature of these Tyrollean streams necessitates a highly visible and highly buoyant dry fly to grab the trouts’ attention quickly.

Step forward the Sparkle Retirer with its double wing of Ultra-dry yarn and elk hair! Perfect for the job, backed up by a tub of Ultra-dry Floatant to resurrect when absolutely necessary!
