Beacon Beige Dry Fly

Fishing Tips

The history of the original fly, called the 'Beige' dates back to the time of the first world war, when it is reputed that a member of the Wills family created this pattern whilst on leave from the Somme in 1916. It is hard to imagine a tough war veteran sitting down at the fly tying bench and creating such a delicate fly after what he must have witnessed. Yet we all can experience the tranquil pleasure of being at the side of the water with fly rod in hand - how truly therapeutic.
