FAQs
What size hook should I use?
The Ally's Shrimp Red Salmon Fly Double is available in sizes 8 and 10. Choose the size based on water conditions and the size of the fish you are targeting. Smaller sizes are often better in low and clear water.
How should I present this fly?
Cast upstream or at an angle, allowing the fly to swing through the current. Vary the retrieve until a strike occurs.
What type of leader and tippet should I use?
Use a leader and tippet appropriate for salmon fishing, typically in the 8-12 lb range, depending on the conditions.
How do I care for my flies?
Rinse the flies with fresh water after each use and store them in a dry fly box.
What is the benefit of the double hook?

Troubleshooting
