Banana Flashwing

In this fly-tying video, Casper Hansen demonstrates how to tie the Banana Flashwing, a modern and highly effective salmon fly inspired by the proven Banana pattern.

Built around the classic Banana colour combination, this Flashwing version adds movement, flash, and a streamlined profile that makes it an excellent choice for Atlantic salmon. The pattern fishes well in a wide range of water conditions and can easily be adapted by changing colours and sizes to match different rivers and fishing situations.

If you're targeting Steelhead, this fly is definitely worth a place in your fly box as well. The combination of silhouette, movement, and flash makes it a versatile pattern for migratory fish on both sides of the Atlantic.

Materials and techniques shown in this video can be adjusted to create your own variations, making the Banana Flashwing a great pattern for both experienced and beginner fly tyers.
