Modern salmon tube
SalmonMid-depth
Modern tube fly dressed low and mobile. Dark wing, a flash of colour, nothing wasted. Sits in the water rather than on it. Slim profile cuts through current cleanly.
Fish this when
Spring through autumn on medium to large salmon rivers. Designed for sinking-tip presentation, swung across the pool at steady rhythm.
Why it works
Slim profile and dark dressing suit subsurface presentation. The fly ends up on the leader more often than anything else.
