FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Sizes 6 through 10 are available. Select a size based on the current conditions and the size of salmon you expect to encounter. Larger flies are often used in rougher water conditions.

How should I store the flies?

Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and to keep them organized.

What knot should I use to attach the fly?

A loop knot or a clinch knot will work well. Ensure the knot is tied correctly and securely.

Can I use this fly in still water?

While primarily designed for rivers, it can be used in still water where salmon are present. Adjust your retrieve to suit the conditions.

How often should I sharpen the hooks?

Check the hooks regularly and sharpen them as needed. A sharp hook increases your chances of a successful hookset.

What type of leader should I use?

Use a tapered leader that matches the weight of your fly line and the size of the fly. 8-12lb test tippet is a good starting point.

Troubleshooting

Fly not attracting fish.

Try changing the retrieve speed, depth, or presentation. Experiment with different sizes or colors if conditions warrant.

Fish are striking but not hooking.

Ensure the hook is sharp and that you are setting the hook firmly. Check your leader for any damage.

Fly is getting snagged.

Adjust your casting angle to avoid underwater obstructions. Use a more buoyant fly or a different presentation technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Rigging: Attach the fly to your leader using a loop knot or a clinch knot, ensuring a secure connection. The double hook design allows for a more secure connection.
Leader and Tippet: Use a leader and tippet appropriate for the size of the salmon you are targeting and the water conditions. A tippet strength of 8-12 lb test is generally recommended, but adjust based on the circumstances.
Casting: Cast the fly upstream or across the current, allowing it to drift naturally. Adjust your presentation based on the river’s current and the salmon’s behavior.
Care: After each use, rinse the fly with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Store the flies in a fly box to prevent damage to the hooks and the fly itself. Periodically check the hooks for sharpness and replace as needed.
