Black Fly Pupa

The name Black Fly refers to blackflies (Simuliidae), whose larvae and pupae live in fast-flowing, oxygen-rich water and are an important food source for trout and grayling. No documented origin or inventor can be traced for the fly pattern itself.

The dark body with its striking yellow ring imitates the rising pupa, while the CDC wings provide natural buoyancy. Tied barbless, it's a proven choice in clear water for cautious fish.

Fair Trade, Full Circle

Your flies are tied fairly, with the best materials, on a barbless hook. "Fliegenfischen mit Herz" is building a base for women in Nairobi. The women there own and run the tying workshop themselves, giving them economic independence, pride in their craft, and joy in their customers. Let's work together toward a more balanced world.
