FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Size 12 and 14 are available. Choose the size based on water clarity and the size of the salmon you are targeting. Start with size 12 in murkier water or when targeting larger fish, and size 14 in clearer water or when the fish are smaller.

What type of leader should I use?

Use a leader appropriate for salmon fishing, typically in the 8-12lb range, depending on the water conditions and size of fish.

How do I prevent the fly from snagging?

Try varying your retrieve, casting angle, and leader length. Avoid dragging the fly along the bottom.

How often should I replace the fly?

Replace the fly if the hook is bent, the bead head is damaged, or the fly's body is significantly frayed.

Can I use this fly in still water?

While designed for faster water, you can try it in still water, but it may not be as effective as flies designed specifically for those conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fly is not sinking properly.

Ensure the fly is properly wetted before use. Check for any damage to the bead head that might affect weight distribution. Adjust your casting angle to help the fly get to depth.

Fly is snagging frequently.

Adjust your retrieve speed and casting angle. Try a different leader length to keep the fly higher in the water column.
