Description

THE FLY The mysterious lady, whose identity the salmon world may never uncover, has lent her name to one of the very best classic flies from the Scottish Spey. Its discretion and the combination of the red breast feather from the golden pheasant together with the grey heron hackle is what makes it so special. A discrete, soft-swimming fly can work miracles on tricky salmon. We prefer to fish this in clear water on a cloudy day and in not-too-big sizes. The little mallard brown hair wing steers the fly, and the hackles provide great movement. We think this is one of the "forgotten" patterns that deserves to be fished more often.

Field Notes

This is a classic Spey-style salmon fly designed for subtle presentations in clear water, especially on cloudy days. Fish it on a swing or soft downstream presentation when salmon are being selective and you want a fly with a discreet profile and lively movement.

Pros

  • Soft-swimming profile with lots of movement
  • Effective in clear water and on pressured salmon
  • Classic Spey styling for swing presentations

Cons

  • May be too subtle for very dirty water
  • Best performance can depend on the right size and swing speed
