Salmon Atlantic flies
Salmon flies are used for fishing larger fish such as salmon or steelhead. The hooks on these salmon flies are much stronger to support this extra weight, with various different brands of hook such as Ken Sawada or Salar are amongst the strongest, great if you will be fishing in areas with larger salmon.
Traditionally fly fishing for salmon is most popular in the colder months from late autumn into spring when salmon migrate from the ocean to spawn in fresh water. Salmon runs occur annually which makes a great fly fishing opportunity to catch on their return journey. Swimming up to the spawning grounds of the river takes an enormous effort, so salmon flies are typically lager in size to attract any hungry salmon swimming past!

Classic dressing of 'proven' flies tied with Coneheads used for salmon fly fishing; these are cleverly designed so that it allows the fly to swim level even in slow water, as the weight of the hook is counter-balanced by the conehead at the front of the fly. Working the conehead brings 'life' to the fly at the required depth.

What are Micro Treble Hooks and when should I use them?
Micro Trebles are salmon flies tied on small trebles hooks of size 16 and 18, and can be an ideal choice when fishing in low water conditions, such as during the summer when rivers and streams may be experiencing low flow due to hot weather or drought. In these conditions, the water may be clearer and the fish may be more wary, making a smaller and more subtle presentation more effective.
However, it's worth noting that low water and micro treble hooks can be used in a variety of different fishing situations, not just when the water level is low. They are generally just a smaller and more subtle version of a standard treble hook, and can be a good choice when targeting smaller or more finicky fish or when a subtle presentation is desired for any other reason.

There are several benefits to using tubes for fly fishing over standard flies which are tied directly to a hook. These are commonly used for weighted Steelhead and Salmon flies.
Tubes give fly fishermen much more flexibility, as they are not tied down to a particular hook, allowing them to choose the make and size to suit their preference and water condition. Imagine being able to change from a single 8 to a treble 10 or between freshwater and saltwater without requiring a separate fly, simply switch the hook! This saves money by being able to reuse the same pattern without buying multiple variations attached to all the desired hooks you could require.
And if a hook does break or wears, you no longer have to throw away the fly. Benefits all round!
We have 4 varieties of tubes, Copper, Aluminium, Plastic and Bottle/Brass. These can be used to help adjust the sink rates of the fly.

Waddingtons are very useful in the early salmon fly fishing season, especially when the water is heavy and the water temperatures are low; their long slim profile seem to attract more takes. A big fly presented lower in the water is often what is required.
