Hairwing
Tosh
Scottish salmon hairwing
SalmonMid-depth
Simple, effective Scottish salmon hairwing in red and yellow over a sparse body. A practical pattern that Highland guides use when conditions suit something warm and attractor-coloured.
Fish this when
Spring and summer on Scottish Highland rivers in medium water. Fish as a change when brighter patterns have been shown.
Why it works
Red and yellow are proven salmon-triggering colours. The Tosh presents them cleanly and without fuss.
