Atlantic Kursk Flies Red Francis

Atlantic Kursk Flies – Red Francis

A modern take on one of the most iconic salmon flies, the Atlantic Kursk Flies Red Francis combines the deep-diving power of the Kursk brass head with the proven effectiveness of the classic Red Francis pattern. Designed for aggressive salmon in fast, deep water, this fly is a must-have for serious anglers.

The Red Francis is renowned for its ability to provoke territorial takes, with its bold red colour, distinctive feelers, and weighted design making it one of the most effective shrimp-style patterns ever created. The addition of the brass Kursk head takes it even further, ensuring it reaches the depths quickly while maintaining the lifelike movement that triggers strikes.

This pattern excels in heavy flows and deep pools, working best when free-drifted, but it also responds well to a slow retrieve, creating a pulsing motion that fish find hard to resist.

At Fin & Game, we understand the importance of having the right patterns in your fly box. The Atlantic Kursk Flies Red Francis is a top performer, ideal for anglers targeting salmon in both high and low water conditions.
