F Fly created by Marjan Fratnik of Milan (formally of Most Na Soci in Slovenia).
The F Fly is a simple but deadly fly created by Marjan Fratnic. He was acquainted with the Moustique series of flies from the Swiss Jura. However as with any good fly tyer, Marjan believed that they were fragile and so he developed the F Fly. Using the feathers from a duck's preen gland is has been used by fly fishermen all over Europe it is equally deadly for trout and grayling.

As the name indicates dry flies which include F Fly are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include F Fly imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.
A dry fly like F Fly has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help F Fly float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout
