Yellow Torrish

Welsh summer salmon hairwing

SalmonMid-depth

Welsh hairwing adapted from the classic Torrish dressing—yellow, orange, and gold over a slim body. Has a reputation on the Towy, Usk, and Wye for warm, low summer water.

Fish this when

Summer and autumn on the Welsh salmon rivers. In medium to low water when fish have settled and a warm, bright fly is required.

Why it works

Yellow and orange read well in the warm light of late summer afternoons. The Torrish colour scheme has proven effectiveness on fish that have spent time in the river.
