Overview
The C&F Design Fish Eye is a unique fly-tying and evaluation tool that allows anglers to see their flies exactly as fish do. Using water, a reflective surface, and the principle of light refraction, it recreates the “fish window” view—helping you analyze how flies float, sit, and appear underwater. It’s an invaluable tool for refining patterns and improving presentation accuracy at the bench.
Key Features
- Simulates a fish’s underwater perspective using water and reflective optics
- Allows observation of both above-water silhouette and subsurface profile
- Helps evaluate fly floatation, posture, and visibility before fishing
- Compact, desktop-friendly design integrates easily into tying setups
- Ideal for testing new patterns and improving match-the-hatch accuracy
Specifications
- Design: Water-filled tank with internal angled mirror
- Principle: Uses critical angle of refraction to replicate fish vision
- Operation: Float fly in water and observe from top and side perspectives
