{"product_id":"daioni","title":"Daioni Sea Trout Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Daioni Sea Trout Fly is a distinctive and highly productive Welsh sea trout pattern, its name was inspired by the well known hymn line \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalon lan yn llawn daioni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, with the word daioni translating to goodness. The fly was first created around the turn of the century during a fly tying demonstration at the Royal Welsh Show. While the materials and proportions have been refined over time, the original concept remains unchanged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe aim behind the Daioni was to produce a fly with a large rounded silhouette that remains light and easy to cast. It offers a broad profile in the water yet maintains mobility, allowing it to move freely in the surface film. This combination makes it particularly attractive to sea trout that respond to shape and movement rather than intricate detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis sea trout fly comes into its own in July when shoals of smaller school fish arrive. These fish are often active near the surface and will readily chase and intercept a fly that presents a fuller shrimp like outline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally designed as a dropper pattern, the Daioni pairs well with a slimmer single, double or tube fly on the point. A balanced sea trout cast should include varying lengths and silhouettes to reflect key marine food sources such as sandeels, pin fry, shrimps and small crabs. The Daioni covers the wider profile category, offering contrast when fished alongside a more streamlined pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt can be fished effectively on a floating line directly in the surface film or on an intermediate to explore slightly deeper layers. However, it performs at its best when presented near the surface on mild summer evenings, particularly during July and August when sea trout move confidently in the upper water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDaioni Sea Trout Fly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Holographic Silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib - Fine Silver Wire \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWing - Squirrel Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Blue Hen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Black Silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook - Single Barbed, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Sea Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Choose The Daioni?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWelsh Heritage Pattern\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated in Wales with a clear design purpose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWide Silhouette Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOffers a shrimp like outline that sea trout respond to strongly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal Dropper Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComplements slimmer point flies for varied presentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDaioni Sea Trout Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSurface Film Presentation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFish on a floating line and allow the fly to sit and work within the surface layer where school fish are active.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaired Fly Approach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse as the dropper with a slimmer pattern on the point to offer contrasting silhouettes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSummer Evening Sessions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget mild July and August nights when sea trout feed confidently near the top.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Daioni Sea Trout Fly remains one of the most effective modern Welsh patterns, valued for its mobility, strong silhouette and consistent success throughout the season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Match The Hatch","offers":[{"title":"Size 8","offer_id":56461545898308,"sku":"ST1148","price":2.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5131\/7572\/files\/DaioniSeaTroutFlyside.jpg?v=1773753069","url":"https:\/\/matchthehatch.co.uk\/products\/daioni","provider":"Match The Hatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
