{"product_id":"invicta-pearly","title":"Invicta Pearly Wet Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Invicta Pearly wet fly is a brighter variation of the classic Invicta pattern, originally designed by James Ogden in the 19th century. Known for creating practical, fish-catching patterns rather than exact imitations, Ogden’s Invicta has remained a firm favourite with anglers, and this pearly version adds a touch more visibility while keeping the traditional soft-hackled movement that makes it so effective.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than matching one specific hatch, the fly suggests emerging insects, pale upwings, and general subsurface life. It’s particularly useful when light levels are flat, the water has a hint of colour, or trout are feeding just below the surface without fully committing to dries. The pearly body gives a subtle flash as it moves through the current, helping fish pick it out without looking overly bright. Fished singly or as part of a wet fly team, it’s a dependable choice when you want a traditional pattern with a little extra presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInvicta Pearly 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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Crest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Pearl Myler\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib - Gold Line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Cock Brown\/Guinea Fowl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWing - Hen Pheasant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Black Silk\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 Invicta Pearly 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 across and slightly downstream and allow the fly to swing naturally under tension.
