Benefits and key features:

The Devaux 828C dry fly stands out for its many strengths. Thanks to its top-quality natural materials, it guarantees superior buoyancy, reducing the risk of sinking even after multiple takes. Its silhouette perfectly mimics the posture and appearance of a live insect on the surface, encouraging trout and grayling to strike with confidence. This artificial fly also benefits from Devaux’s craftsmanship, known for precise manufacturing and consistent tying. Its versatility allows it to adapt to numerous river profiles, whether fast or calm, in any season. Finally, it remains a smart choice even when fish are selective or wary, thanks to its realism and subtle presentation.



Usage tips and recommended setups:

To fully exploit the potential of the Devaux 828C fly, favor a fine, tapered leader that allows the most natural drift possible. A light application of floatant on the body will further enhance buoyancy on shimmering water. This dry fly pairs perfectly with fluorocarbon tippets for discretion and reduced memory. In terms of setup, the 828C is ideal on a simple floating fly line head. Use a bow-and-arrow or roll cast in tight areas, or a straight presentation when sight-fishing in gentle currents. This versatility makes it suitable for most conditions encountered at the water’s edge.
