Articulated Black Shuttle Cock

The Articulated Black Shuttlecock with Silver Rib is a high-performing dry fly pattern that combines natural imitation with subtle flash to trigger surface takes. Its slim black body, accented with a silver rib, imitates emerging midges while the articulated construction adds lifelike movement, mimicking struggling or active prey.

Tied with a CDC post, this shuttlecock floats upright with excellent buoyancy, and the delicate CDC fibers create realistic motion on the water. Perfect for dry fly fishing when trout are feeding on surface insects, it performs consistently on small waters and stocked venues, particularly when presentation and subtle movement are key.

This fly is part of the RJW Essential range, tied with high quality materials and budget friendly.
