Scottish salmon hairwing
SalmonMid-depth
Scottish salmon hairwing appearing on Speyside and Highland beats. Understated, practical, reliably effective on fish that have been shown the standard repertoire.
Fish this when
Spring and summer on Scottish salmon rivers when standard patterns are not producing. Effective as a change fly on well-fished pools.
Why it works
A pattern outside the standard repertoire provokes takes from fish accustomed to the usual offerings. Orjok is distinctive without being outlandish.
