Red Francis Tube
Fishing Tips
The Francis fishes best in slow moving water, especially in eddies and below waterfalls. It is very effective with Atlantic Salmon when fished across using short, twitching, pulls. Fishing low waters with a good selection of small Francis is a must. This pattern is one of the most popular flies used on the River Tweed.
