Description

THE PATTERN 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.

This is a fly-tying pattern pack for building a Thunder & Lightning style salmon fly. It is best suited to humus-colored rivers, cloudy days, and rain-affected clear water when salmon are willing to take a classic, high-contrast fly. The included materials are for tying a soft, modern tube-style fly that should swim well in moving water.

Pros

  • Classic salmon pattern with proven color contrast
  • Includes a full material pack for tying the fly
  • Designed to swim well in the water

Cons

  • Requires fly-tying skill and tools
  • Pattern-specific materials are not useful outside this fly
