LOW WATER SINGLE SALMON & SEA TROUT FLIES

 

 

The flies on this page are tied on light wire black nickel hooks and are suitable for single handed fly rod work. Ideal on loch and river for sea trout or salmon they include  patterns for the point and bob(top dropper) but personal choice can differ to the suggested uses!                                                                                     

A two fly 'Hebridean Cast' are often a better bet than traditional three fly casts

BOB FLIES

These work as fish takers but also as fish attractors. In a big wave use Spiny Norman on the bob with something black on the point, the wake it makes will bring fish up that take iot or the point fly. In lighter wind use Size Zero Muddlers. Both are good wake lures for nightime work on the river or in saltwater.

Size Zero Muddler LW#8  -  75p each
