FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Size 12 and 14 are available. Use size 12 in faster water and consider the size of the fish you are targeting.

What type of leader is recommended?

Use a leader appropriate for salmon fishing. Fluorocarbon leaders are a good choice due to their abrasion resistance and low visibility.

How should I store these flies?

Store the flies in a fly box or container to protect the hooks and prevent tangling.

How do I clean the flies?

Rinse the flies with fresh water after each fishing trip to remove any salt or debris.

What knot should I use to attach the fly?

Use a clinch knot or improved clinch knot to attach the fly to your leader.

How often should I inspect the fly?

Inspect the fly before each use to ensure the hook and materials are in good condition.

Troubleshooting

Fly not sinking quickly enough.

Ensure you are using the correct weight leader and that the fly is not tangled. Try a size 12 in faster currents.

Fly is not attracting salmon.

Experiment with different retrieve speeds and depths. Check if the water is clear enough for the fly to be visible.
