I will have to report back once I do a trip later in the spring!!!

Peter,

I'd be surprised if Hans used this fly for salmon - even though you never know. I met him a couple of times, and remember him talking about dry flies for salmon, but that was classic bombers.

Just curious if this pattern is effective on Atlantic Salmon in Newfoundland. I am trying to branch out from the orange bug and heard about Hans van Klinken's success on the Main River last summer and was wondering what he uses?? Have tied one to try this summer!!

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
