Fulling Mill Black Frances Salmon Fly Treble

Vary your presentation depending on the river conditions. Experiment with both a dead drift and a swing across the current.

Use a floating or sinking line depending on water conditions. A floating line is good for surface fishing and a sinking line can help get the fly deeper.

Use a leader of appropriate strength, typically 8-12 lb test, suitable for the size of salmon you expect to catch.

Replace the fly if the hook is damaged or the fly's materials are falling apart. Usually, after catching several fish or after considerable use.

While primarily designed for rivers, it can be used in still water with a suitable presentation, but it is optimized for moving water.

Store the flies in a dry fly box to prevent rust and maintain their quality.

Try changing the retrieve speed, depth, or angle. Experiment with different sizes of the Black Frances.

Adjust your retrieval technique, or use a sinking line to keep the fly above the bottom. Try a lighter weight leader.

Ensure the hook point is sharp. Check your knot and leader strength. Make sure you are using the right size and type of hook for the salmon you are fishing for.
