Description

THE FLY A great pattern where the brown and gold actually inspired Mr. Norling to tie the original Tempeldog fly. Brown and gold, as seen in the fantastic Pahtakorva, is an excellent combination for slightly humus-coloured waters. This makes it a great standard fly for most rivers. With its double JC substitute feathers, it’s not only effective but also a beauty to tie on. We've kept 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

A classic salmon-style fly for slightly humus-coloured water and general river fishing. The description suggests it fishes well as a modern swimmer, so it suits swung presentations or steady retrieves in moving water.

Pros

  • Strong visibility in stained water
  • Balanced modern swimmer profile
  • Attractive classic color combination

Cons

  • Not ideal for very clear water
  • Specialized fly pattern rather than a general-purpose lure
