Rääpysjärvi Pink Arctic Char Ice Fly 3-pack

A Legendary Ice Fishing Fly for Arctic Char

If the Facebook group “Rautua ja Raudunpyytäjiä” (Finnish for Arctic Char and Arctic Char Anglers) is to be believed, Mauri Rääpysjärvi’s handmade pink ice fishing flies are the secret weapon for consistently catching Arctic char. In any case, these pink “candies” have produced incredible catches in Finland, Sweden, and Norway alike.

Rääpysjärvi’s flies have also delivered excellent results when paired with our Arctic Light and Arctic Light LED char jigs. That’s why it felt only natural to make these handcrafted flies from Finland available to anglers everywhere!

In char fishing, pink is the new black

Not long ago, pink flies were laughed at—but not anymore. Thanks to open-minded Arctic char anglers, pink has become one of the most popular—if not the most popular—colors in char ice fishing.

Pink stands out extremely well in the water and differs clearly from the natural prey of Arctic char. Since char are curious fish, this unusual color seems to be an irresistible target.

Mauri Rääpysjärvi three-fly set

Pink Rääpysjärvi flies are a common sight in social media catch photos, so we created this set using only pink versions of these famous flies.

The set includes:

• One winged pupa-style fly
• Two hackled flies, one of which features an eye as a strike point

The flies are tied on high-quality, durable hooks: Fulling MIL 31535 and Kamasan B175 in size 8.

Extra effectiveness with Norolan char jigs

Thanks to the bead heads, the flies can be used on their own, or paired with char jigs for added attraction.

The highly visible pink color combined with Norolan’s large-action, gliding Arctic Light and Arctic Light LED char jigs creates an excellent setup for the crystal-clear waters of the mountains.

So go ahead—tight lines with pink gear and pink flies!
