MALLARD AND CLARET

Invented in the 1850's by Aberdeen fly tier William Murdoch, the Mallard and Claret is named after the colours and materials used to make up this fly.  It best imitates a small baitfish and can be fished on a sinking line. Alternatively, you can fish the Mallard and Claret on a floating line in the margins, early morning and late evening when the trout are using the low light to their advantage to ambush baitfish.
