Phatagorva

Asturian salmon hairwing

SalmonMid-depth

Asturian salmon hairwing unique to the region's tradition. Tied for the Sella and Narcea, it carries the bright, warm colours that Cantabrian salmon prefer in peaty, amber spate rivers.

Fish this when

Spring and summer on Asturian salmon rivers when fish hold in pools between spates. Fish on a measured downstream swing.

Why it works

Local patterns are tied by guides and keepers who know exactly what the fish see. Phatagorva endures because it catches fish.
