This kit is focuses on a technique, rather than a specific fly. We've based this kit around a really successful fly fishing technique which is used all around the world as a method to catch fish when you cannot see any rising, the Klink n Dink (or Duo or New Zealand Style). Essentially it's a way of fishing both a dry fly and a nymph at the same time, allowing you to search all areas of the water - to find the fish!
To fish this method requires a specific dry fly - one with a tippet ring tied into the tail, this allows you to suspend a nymph under the fly without compromising the hook point on the dry fly, even when using barbless hooks.
Feathersmith kits includes enough world-class materials to tie 30 flies in three sizes. Plus a video tutorial of how to tie each variation of the fly and associated videos on fishing your finished fly.
