Silver Sheep is a variant of the original Black Sheep tied by Haraldur Stefánsson in 1977. The Silver Sheep has done well in fishing in Iceland since the fly is suppose to imitate an Eel smelt, but the salmon feeds on them during the period it spends in saltwater, specially in the south Atlantic. It is clear that the fish has eaten to grow and the protein that gives him the growth rate is the eel larvae in the gulf stream. The fly has become one of Icelands most popular flies to fish for salmon with. And it did for a valid reason - this fly is simply a must have fly for the Atlantic salmon! It's simple to tie and I would not go fishing without it.
