IQ Dawn series

A series of flies for sea trout and salmon

By Ismo Saastamoinen

The purpose of the IQ Dawn Series is to cover most variations you can encounter at a salmon river. And hopefully catch a Salmon Salar, king of fish! All flies can easily be made to spey flies - just change the hackle to heron feather instead, in the same color.

Skit fiske!
