Description

THE FLY With this classic fly, Mikael caught his first ever salmon. Originally a feather wing tied on a small tube, we have imitated the golden pheasant tippet feather by striping a burnt orange wing with a marker. This odd but effective technique maintains the typical look of the original fly without losing its swimming capacity. The Durham Ranger, originating from the Scottish River Tay, is superb in coloured forest water or after a flood. We have preserved the original colour concept, enhanced it with our SSS synthetics, and transformed it into a soft, modern, drop-formed classic that will 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

A classic salmon fly designed for coloured water and post-flood conditions. Fish it on a swung presentation or as a modern tube-style swimmer when you want a broad profile and strong visibility in stained water.

Pros

  • Strong visibility in coloured water
  • Modern synthetic build preserves swimming action
  • Broad profile can draw aggressive takes

Cons

  • Less suited to very clear water
  • Specialized salmon fly, not a general-purpose pattern
