Atlantic salmon dark attractor
SalmonMid-depth
Black body, green butt, dark hair wing—a North American Atlantic salmon pattern that crossed over and stayed. Used from Newfoundland to Iceland as a late-season standard.
Fish this when
Summer and autumn on Canadian and Icelandic salmon rivers. On a standard downstream swing in medium to low water.
Why it works
Dark body and green butt are one of the most consistent salmon-taking combinations in Atlantic fishing. The Undertaker packages them effectively.
