PRODUCT BENEFITS AND HIGHLIGHTS
The Devaux HL01 emergent fly stands out for its striking realism, designed to fool the wariest fish. The precise selection of natural materials provides a discreet surface presentation while maintaining excellent flotation, even in steady currents. Its innovative tying, developed from decades of experience, ensures both durability and attractiveness. The perfect balance of volume, translucency and finesse appeals to trout and grayling alike, even in challenging fishing situations. The HL01 model is also highly versatile, suited to sight fishing as well as long surface drifts to maximize your catch rates.

USAGE TIPS AND RECOMMENDED RIGS
To fully exploit the potential of HL01 emergent flies, use a fine tippet (12–14 hundredths, approx. 0.12–0.14 mm) for a natural presentation. Favor a natural drift, focusing on margins, slow currents and oxygenated zones where fish closely watch emerging insects. They pair well with a subtle leader and can also be used in a tandem rig with a light nymph to explore multiple water layers simultaneously. Ideally choose an appropriate shooting head or line taper to avoid tension on the fly at the surface and to mimic the behavior of an emerging insect. Improve effectiveness with a light treatment of dubbing floatant to preserve buoyancy over multiple casts.

TESTIMONIALS OR EXPERT REVIEWS
“Having used the HL01 series since its release, I noticed a clear increase in my catches, especially on heavily fished rivers where fish become selective. Its natural look and ability to stay afloat after several takes make it one of the most effective flies in my box. The hook strength and the finesse of Devaux's tying prove the brand's seriousness.” – Nicolas, experienced angler (2024)
