Description

THE PATTERN The Classic Alta fly. This big black and blue beauty got its name after Mikael and Håkan Norling’s memorable days on the magic Alta beat, many years back. A super fly for dusk and dark. The blue/purple colours stay longest when the light disappears. The fat silhouette makes it a must under the summer moonlight. Fish this fly big, even over 20 cm. In the biggest sizes, we tie in an extra wing between the body halves. One of our coolest patterns that have taken so many great fish, not only on the mighty Alta but on salmon rivers around the world.

Field Notes

This is a large salmon fly pattern designed for dusk, dark, and low-light fishing. The description emphasizes fishing it big, including over 20 cm, and using it on salmon rivers when fish are active near the surface or just under it.

Pros

  • Large silhouette stands out in low light
  • Blue/purple tones remain visible as light fades
  • Proven salmon pattern for big fish

Cons

  • Likely less effective in bright, clear daylight
  • Large profile may be too much for smaller water or timid fish
