Salmon FliesWhen salmon fly fishing the correct salmon flies are crucial. Our Salmon fly range includes the essential Ally's Shrimp and Ally's Cascade salmon flies. Sunray Shadow Salmon Flies, single hook, double hook & treble hook salmon flies and tube flies for Salmon. Always check local fishery/club rules whether salmon fishing flies based on single, double hooks or treble hooks can be used. Arriving with flies that cannot be used would be dreadful. If In doubt take salmon flies based on tubes as when based on tubes mean that you can swap hooks for salmon flies according to local rules. We also stock the full range of Tubeology salmon flies. While you are here remember to check out the salmon flies links.
Salmon fliesSalmon Flies - Tube FliesSalmon flies can comprise metal or plastic tube with standard salmon flies partterns tied to themincluding copper tube salmon flies (which have more weight to go deeper faster) or nylon tube salmon flies which remain closer to the surface. Modern tube salmon flies can be tied on fly fishing systems like Tubeology that are even more flexible. These allow you to take aluminium tube salmon flies to the water and swap heads for hot spot colour and size / weight enabling the same Tubeology tube salmon flies to vary the depth and speed at which it descends across different parts of salmon pools giving more flexibility to your salmon flies. Tube based salmon flies patterns vary from traditional tube salmon flies patterns like green highlander through newer salmon flies like pot bellied pig tube flies and the ultra mobile sunray shadow tube salmon flies and monkey tube salmon flies using materials that give maximum movement like cashmere goat.

Salmon Flies - General NotesThe salmon stops eating when it moves into fresh water from the sea for breeding, it is literally "dying" to breed and reproduce until it is able to return to the sea. Indeed vast quantities of salmon die in the act of reproduction. Because of this we are not catching salmon because it wants a fly to eat to satisfy hunger like the Rainbow Trout we are catching the salmon as we are triggering its predatory nature. We can stimulate the salmons predatory nature using imitative flies like Ally's shrimps designed by Alistair Gowans which resemble shrimp based salmon flies patterns or the red francis which using boar hair again resembles a shrimp . There are then modern flies like monkey tube salmon flies and sunray shadow tube based samon flies using materials like cashmere goat for maximum movement producing ultra-mobile flies which may look like a small fish to the predatory salmon. Salmon flies come in with an amazing name range from collie dog salmon flies, green highlander salmon flies, blue charm salmon flies, green brahan salmon flies, jock scott salmon flies, munro killer salmon flies stoats tail salmon flies, silver stoats tail salmon flies, thunder & lightening salmon flies, willie gunn salmon flies, sunray shadow salmon flies, monkey salmon flies, fatback salmon flies. Salmon flies have been changed over the years. Salmon flies are triggers not a natural food so salmon flies need to look like food but stimulate.
