This is a classic salmon fly that can be tied in a variety of colors to match the water quality of your local rivers. For clearer water, try using more mild colors, and for tinted water go for more colorful and flashy patterns. Substitute your own materials in for a fly that may push more water, or for one that will slide right through! For a fly that pushes more water, try adding dubbing for the two toned tag.
This is a classic salmon fly that will catch salmon and steelhead consistently. This is definitely a fly to keep in your box in multiple colors and sizes for any conditions. This is also a pattern that is great to practice making more durable tags on any classic salmon patterns.
Fish this fly on the swing off of either a two-hander or switch rod, with an across and down approach to the river. Cast this fly 45 degrees down stream with an up stream mend if fishing across multiple currents to keep the fly in the zone for the longest time. Make a few casts in the same area, then walk 2-3 steps down river and repeat.
