Slightly bigger than the 8 version 10 millimetre long. A special version we wouldn't be without in our fly box... We’re a specialist company and we will go to great lengths to produce the flies exactly how we want them. This micro conehead version of the Frances tube fly is no exception and we know that once you have started fishing with this pattern you will find that it catches fish better than most flies you have… All the right things come together in this well-balanced fly. We´r mad about details at Fishmadman Tanuki hair from the paws of the animal – If you haven’t figured it out by now – then here is a clue: there is a healthy reason to why we are called Fishmadman, so we might as well tell you some more crazy stuff about details. Some years back we found out that the small spiky hair on the paws from the Tanuki fox (also known as; Japanese raccoon dog) was an outstanding material for the Frances flies in the small versions we do. We bought 100´s of paws and dyed them in the orange and brown colors we use for our scrimp flies. Feelers made from Indian Wild boar We exclusively use hair from Indian wild boar or Calcutta boar as it also is called. These hairs are somewhat thinner than the run-of-the-mill boar hair found on other Frances flies. This fine material has great abilities on salmon and steelhead flies.
