#13-2013 Adams' Salmon Shack - Darren MacEachern #13-2013 Adams' Salmon Shack - Darren MacEachern

Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Steve Adams
Source: Smelt Fly Patterns: Donald A. Wilson (1996), Pg. 33

Hook: Mustad 36808 #6
Thread: Black 8/0
Body: Silver holographic flat tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Wing: Green bucktail then 6-8 peacock herls
Throat: Red hackle fibers
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black

Notes: Steves Adams originated the pattern and named the fly after his father's camp on Seymour Lake. Darren modified the pattern by using a flat tinsel instead of the prescribed holographic braid. Holographic material was used to mimic the natural baitfish color. The patten has also been found to be productive tied in gray and purple version.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
