Icelandic salmon tube

SalmonMid-depth

"Long-beard"—an Icelandic salmon tube with long, flowing fibres. Designed for big Icelandic salmon rivers where a fly must move well in powerful current.

Fish this when

Summer on the Icelandic salmon rivers. In medium to high water when a larger, mobile tube holds in the current.

Why it works

Long fibres animate in gentle swing, creating the profile of something alive. The name is the description.
