FAQs
What size fly should I use?
Sizes 8-12 are available. Select a size based on the current river conditions, the clarity of the water, and the size of the salmon you expect to catch. Typically, use smaller sizes in lower, clearer water and larger sizes when the water is high or colored.
What type of water is this fly best suited for?
This fly is best suited for rivers and streams, particularly those known for Atlantic salmon.
How often should I replace the fly?
Replace the fly when the hook is damaged or the materials show signs of wear and tear, such as fraying or unraveling.
How should I store the fly?
Store the fly in a fly box to protect it from damage and to keep the hook sharp.
Can I use this fly in saltwater?
While designed primarily for freshwater salmon fishing, it can be used, but rinse it thoroughly after use to prevent corrosion.
How do I know when a salmon strikes?
Watch your fly line closely. A strike will usually be indicated by a sudden stop, a twitch, or a pull on the line. Be ready to set the hook.
