One of the most iconic of the traditional Irish hackled wet flies must be the Claret Bumble. The Bumble-style of flies are dated back to Derbyshire in the 1500’s and used as a dapping fly. Today the style of flies are generally fished as a top or mid dropper in a team of wet flies in the traditional Irish way. We have once again put Håkan Kärsnaser behind the vice to demonstrate this delicate wet fly - one of his favorite wet flies for both still and running water.
