Description

The Payara Dragon Fly – Fire Tiger is a next-level, highly castable fly with flashy movement and our signature Dragon eyes, designed for both jungle rivers and saltwater predators. These eyes not only give the fly a bold, aggressive look but also enhance its hydrodynamics, helping it swim more effectively in strong currents.

Tested and perfected by years of Vampire Fish (Payara) pursuit, this 9″ tube fly is tied in the world-famous Fire Tiger color, making it both an attractor and, in some scenarios, a natural baitfish imitation. A must-have for any serious jungle fly box.

The tube design allows the hook to ride further back, improving hook-up ratio, preventing fouling, reducing weight, and extending the fly’s lifespan. Each fly comes with trailer hook: a sticky3/0 trailer hook in the rear.

Recommended setup includes 10–12 weight rods and 400–500 grain sink tips, allowing effortless casting and swinging even into deep, fast currents. Saltwater predators also respond strongly to this pattern.
