Local Hairwing Patterns

Regional salmon flies

SalmonMid-depth

Local salmon and sea-trout hairwings are swung patterns first and foremost. Profile, movement, and accumulated regional knowledge carried through the current. Adjust weight, tube design, and line depth by season and water height.

Fish this when

Spring through autumn on Atlantic salmon and sea-trout rivers. Adjust presentation depth, weight, and line choice as the season and water conditions demand.

Why it works

Local patterns were devised by anglers who fished the water constantly and intimately. They carry the knowledge of what works on that specific river.
