Description

The Alder fly is a classic pattern with a rich history dating back to the 15th century. It’s believed to have been mentioned in one of the earliest fly fishing books, ‘Fysshe and Fysshynge’ (A Treatyse of Fysshynge) by Dame Juliana Berners, published in 1496. Over the centuries, the Alder has remained a popular fly among trout anglers, especially during the early summer months when the real insects are prevalent. Its simple yet effective design, resembling the real Alderfly, makes it an irresistible meal for hungry trout.
