Welsh salmon hairwing
SalmonMid-depth
Welsh salmon hairwing, a fixture on the Wye and its tributaries. Understated, proven, essential on any Welsh salmon box.
Fish this when
Summer and autumn on the Wye, Usk, and Welsh border rivers. Fish at summer water levels when fish hold settled in their lies.
Why it works
Local patterns endure because they catch fish. The Haslam was made for this water and these fish.
