The Devaux Palmers TT 3 flies are designed to deliver a natural presentation and excellent buoyancy, even in choppy water. Their dense, tidy silhouette ensures optimal visibility and impeccable surface retention while remaining discreet enough to fool wary fish.
Engineered to maximize fishing effectiveness, the Palmers TT 3 stand out for their ability to create a pronounced surface profile while retaining a credible appearance for wild fish. The dense hackle stabilizes the fly and damps micro-drag, improving drift and increasing catch rates. Devaux's quality workmanship ensures consistent production—an important asset for anglers seeking ready-to-fish, high-performing flies straight out of the box. Their versatility covers a wide range of conditions, from strong currents to calm water, with consistent efficiency. They excel at quickly prospecting wide stretches, provoking opportunistic takes and targeting active surface-feeding fish.
To get the most from the Palmers TT 3, adopt a discreet approach and use a quality floating line to preserve the drift. Employ a tapered leader and treat the fly with a hydrophobic product to maintain durable buoyancy. In action, favor a natural upstream-downstream drift, alternating retrieval speeds to simulate prey trapped in the surface film. Recast frequently to keep the fly dry and effective. In clear water, a delicate long presentation reduces fish alertness. In stronger currents, accompany the leader slightly to correct tension and extend the drag-free drift. If fish become picky, space out false casts, grease only the front section of the leader, and renew the hydrophobic treatment after each take.
“Tested as soon as they were released, these Devaux Palmers TT 3 impressed me with their buoyancy and effectiveness in broken currents. Their drift stays cleaner longer than ordinary patterns, and hook-ups are decisive thanks to the quality hook. A reliable choice for fast, efficient prospecting from dawn to dusk.”
Q: Are these flies suitable for fast rivers and calm areas?
A: Yes. Their dense hackle stabilizes the fly in chop and currents while remaining subtle enough for slower flats and shallows.
Q: Is there any special maintenance to preserve buoyancy?
A: Simple regular drying and the application of a hydrophobic product are sufficient. Avoid over-greasing to preserve a natural presentation.
Q: Are they adapted to wary/educated fish?
A: Yes. The neat finish and balanced presentation help convince cautious fish, provided drift and presentation are carefully managed.
