Shuttlecock - Smallmouth yellowfish flies

Next up in our smallmouth yellowfish flies series is the famous shuttlecock. Shuttlecocks are a simple dry fly pattern which are very popular in the UK and Europe. The magic of shuttlecocks is the way they sit in the water and not on the water. All of the flotation is provided by the cdc wing which is angled over the eye of the fly. This causes the body of the fly to sit below the water while only the cdc floats on top of it. The above and below characteristic makes the shuttlecock a perfect pattern to fish in flatter water when fish are sipping emerging or crippled insects. While the pattern was initially intended as a mayfly imitation, it is also very successful during midge and caddis hatches and you can adjust the body materials to whatever colour scheme you want.  https://africanwaters.net
