Product Benefits and Highlights

The Palmer-style tying gives the Devaux Palmer TT 2 flies great stability and outstanding floatation on the water, even after multiple catches. The distribution of the hackle creates a reassuring surface impression for the fish and allows long drifts without collapse. Their neutral yet expressive silhouette makes them an all-purpose fly, capable of enticing trout and grayling in many situations. Attention to detail ensures a natural presentation, essential when facing educated fish in clear waters.

Usage Tips

Adjust the natural drift by favoring upstream or three-quarter upstream casts, keeping the rod high to limit drag. Lightly grease the fly and the proximal leader to optimize buoyancy without stiffening the drift. A fine, discreet tippet is recommended to maximize takes while retaining hook-setting power. Between drifts, quickly dry the fly by gently pressing it on a piece of chamois (amadou) then recharge it with a touch of floatant. In slow water, opt for long presentations and soft landings; in stronger currents, favor short, controlled drifts. Vary the attack angles to cover productive lanes and edges where fish feed on the surface.

Testimonials

“Used as soon as they became available, these flies impressed me with their consistency. On a clear, heavily fished river, I ran drift after drift without them becoming waterlogged. The Palmer tying leaves a nice surface impression, visible enough for the angler while remaining very natural to the fish. A must-have for sporadic hatches and evening rises.”

FAQ

Is the fly suitable for still waters?
