FAQS
Orvis’s lifelike tactical fishing flies are thin profiled and sink quickly to where the fish are because of their tungsten bead heads, but they're designed to avoid getting hung up on the bottom. They were created for Euro/contact nymphing but can be used just as effectively with a traditional floating indicator rig.
The tactical flies available at Orvis are all barbless.
Our most popular tactical flies are the TH Duracell Jig, the Spanish Bullet Jig, the Tactical Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Jig, and the Tunghead Hot Spot Pheasant Tail Jig.
We recommend stocking your fly box with several tactical flies, including the TH Duracell Jig, the Spanish Bullet Jig, the Tactical Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Jig, and the Tunghead Hot Spot Pheasant Tail Jig.
