Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) - Dry Fly
Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) created by Hans Van Klinken.
Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts)
This is definitely an essential fly. This excellent fish-catching fly was devised by the innovative Dutch fly-tyer Hans Van Klinken. The fly, which hangs down in the water supported by the parachute hackle,could be classed as an emerger, an aquatic insect on the point of hatching; whatever the classification, the trout certainly find it extremely attractive. It has been effective on English chalk streams for both trout and grayling. The hackle has floatant applied with the body taking in water so that it sits low as an emerger.
The Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) is an incredible fish catching fly devised by the innovative Dutch fly tyer Hans Van Klinken for trout and grayling. When on a course with Oliver Edwards he said that this fly should be kept in the car glove boxe next to your pack of emergency condoms....... this fly is absolutely incredible, even when fish asre not taking on the surface this fly is known to 'lift' fish.The fly hangs down in the water supported by the parachute hackle. Due to to body of the pupa sitting under the surface while the hackle and wing are on the surface it represents an emerging caddis fly. The Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) is tied with CDC on the post. The Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) is effective on everywhere from English chalk streams to rivers world-wide. At The Essential Fly we tweaked the standard white posted klinkhammer to devise this high visibility variant of the Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) with black and luminous yellow posts.

As the name indicates dry flies which include Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) 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.
Dry Fly Fishing Techniques With The Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts)
A dry fly like Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) 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
Special Fishing Techniques with the Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts)
The Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) is fished by putting floatant on the wing post and moistening the body (I put it in my mouth and use spittle to make the body wet and sink into the surface film). The fly is then floated down stream with constant mends as appropriate to stop the Klinkhammer Yellow (Hi Vis Posts) skimming the stream as it must float naturally at the speed of the current.
