Field Notes

A classic salmon fly pattern designed to be fished when salmon are moving and responding to traditional fly presentations. The slightly weighted conehead helps it get down quickly, making it useful in runs, pools, and deeper seams where you need the fly near the fish. Pairing it with a salmon tube fly hook suggests a tube-fly style setup for swinging or controlled drift presentations.

Pros

  • Classic proven salmon pattern
  • Weighted conehead helps it sink quickly
  • Tube-fly style is versatile for salmon water

Cons

  • Requires appropriate salmon fly setup
  • Not ideal for shallow surface fishing
