{"product_id":"greenwells-glory","title":"Greenwell’s Glory Wet Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreenwell’s Glory wet fly is a true classic of British fly fishing, first designed in 1854 on the River Tweed through a collaboration between Canon William Greenwell and the renowned professional fly dresser James Wright. While many anglers recognise it as a traditional dry fly, the wet fly version has long been a quiet performer, especially when trout are feeding just under the surface during olive hatches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTied in natural, understated tones, it suggests small upwinged olives without looking forced or overly precise. That simplicity is often what makes it so effective on clear rivers and steady glides where fish can be selective. With just enough movement from the hackle to bring it alive in the current, Greenwell’s Glory remains a dependable choice whether fished on its own or as part of a traditional team of wets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-ca156e00-7fff-4c8a-43e1-e2ee392273d7\"\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\u003eGreenwell’s Glory Wet Fly Specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout \/ Grayling \/ Sea Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Wool Olive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib - Gold Line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Hen Cape Greenwell's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWing - Half Mallard\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 - Barbless.
