Klinkhammer Tan

Klinkhammer and Tan flies are both popular choices for dry fly fishing. The Klinkhammer fly is a versatile pattern that imitates a variety of insects such as mayflies, caddisflies, and midges. It was designed by Hans van Klinken and is characterized by its distinctive parachute post and trailing body, which gives the fly a realistic profile on the water's surface.

The Tan fly, on the other hand, is a generic pattern that imitates a variety of light-coloured insects such as midges, mayflies, and small caddisflies. The tan colour is a good match for many insects that are present in the water.

When fishing these flies, it's important to match the hatch and choose a pattern that closely resembles the insects that the fish are feeding on. It's also important to pay attention to the water conditions and adjust your presentation accordingly. This may involve using a longer or shorter leader, varying the speed of your retrieve, or adjusting your casting angle to get a more natural drift.

Overall, both the Klinkhammer and Tan flies can be effective choices for dry fly fishing in a variety of situations. Experiment with different patterns and techniques to find what works best for you and the fish you're targeting.
