The Red Tag is a classic fly that was designed by the Englishman Martyn Flynn in the mid-19th century. Its original name is Worcestershire Gem and whatever version (wet or dry) it has proven to be very effective for catching grayling.
As it turned out later, the Red Tag is also very effective for trout and many other species like chub, rudd, roach.
For this reason, it is worth having many sizes in your box, from larger ones tied on hook no. 10, to tiny ones on 18s, which will work well when fishing for grayling or roach and rudd in lakes.
Materials:
Hook: wet type no. 10 to 18, here Skalka WN1 no. 12
Thread: brown UNI 8/0
Tail: red yarn
Body: 2-4 peacock herls
Hackle: brown hen hackle
