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

A classic salmon fly pattern suited to humus-colored rivers and cloudy conditions. It can also be effective in clear water during rainstorms when salmon are actively moving and feeding. Fish it as a swung or stripped fly depending on river flow and presentation style.

Pros

  • Classic proven salmon pattern
  • Strong visibility in stained water and low light
  • Modern synthetic build should swim well

Cons

  • Not a general-purpose fly for all species
  • May be less effective in very clear, calm conditions
