{"product_id":"black-pennell","title":"Black Pennell Wet Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Black Pennell wet fly is a long established traditional wet fly, originally designed by H. Cholmondeley-Pennell, and it remains a firm favourite with anglers who appreciate simple, proven patterns. Tied with a dark, purposeful profile, it suggests a range of small insects and drifting food items without trying to imitate anything too precisely, which is often why it works so consistently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Black Pennell wet fly is a particularly useful choice in early-season conditions, higher water, or overcast days when fish respond well to a slightly bolder silhouette. Fished as part of a traditional spider or wet fly team, the Black Pennell carries just enough presence to stand out while still looking natural in the current. Whether you’re covering glides for grayling or searching broken runs for trout, it’s a dependable fly to have tied on when you need to find fish rather than wait for them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-576b3933-7fff-56ca-54c3-457a105e13cc\"\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack Pennell Wet Fly Specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout \/ Sea Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody – Floss Back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Black Silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib – Silver Line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle – Hen Cape Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Tippet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook – Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish the Black Pennell Wet Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcross \u0026amp; Down Swing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCast slightly across and downstream and allow the flow to bring the line under steady tension.
