Salmon tube
Banana Fly
SalmonMid-depth
A Scandinavian yellow-and-black tube from the Baltic rivers — the colour combination that has accounted for huge Mörrum and Gaula fish. A summer and back-end favourite.
Fish this when
Coloured or peat-stained water and low light on Scandinavian and Baltic rivers, fished on a normal swing.
Why it works
Yellow and black give the strongest contrast a salmon sees in stained water, holding a clear silhouette where brighter or duller flies disappear.
