Description

THE FLY Yet another of James Wright's magical creations. The Thunder & Lightning colours are as classic as they come. The world has seen thousands of variations, and even our fly series includes several inspired by Wright's masterpiece. These colours are perfect for humus-coloured rivers and especially effective on cloudy days. Even in clear rivers, salmon eagerly take the Thunder & Lightning during a rainstorm. We've preserved the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern, drop-formed classic that will swim and outfish the original feather wing. FEATURES – Medium broad profile – Tungsten 1/2 turbo cone – M FITS tubing for fixed hook – Balanced modern swimmer – Beautiful drop form – Synthetic jungle cock

Field Notes

This is a classic salmon fly pattern suited to humus-colored rivers and cloudy conditions, and it can also produce in clear water during rainstorms. Fish it as a swung or stripped fly for salmon, especially where a traditional profile and strong contrast help trigger takes.

Pros

  • Classic proven salmon pattern
  • Good in stained water and low-light conditions
  • Modern synthetic build should swim well

Cons

  • Not a general-purpose trout fly
  • Less suited to very small streams or ultra-fussy fish
