Like most streamers feel free to get creative with the color combinations, especially if you’re using this for salmon, as bright and contrasting colors can work great. For a fuller body, consider wrapping some schlappen or rooster saddle around the sparkle braid, similar to a wooly bugger to give the fly a bit more volume.
This is a very simple and effective swing fly for salmon and steelhead. The lightweight set up of this fly allows it to be fished in shallower waters, or add a sink tip to get it down deep.
Fish this in a generic down and across swing style. Cast across the river at a 45 degree angle down stream and let the current take the fly from the far bank, back to your side. Cast a few times in the same general area, then move 3-4 steps downstream and repeat.
