Atlantic salmon and steelhead
fishing - fly types.
The Atlantic salmon and steelhead flies on this page were
tied by Mike Day of Bowriver Troutfitters, Calgary, Harry Lemire, Robert
Gillespie, Warren Duncan and Ally Gowans. Bann Special Shrimp is a typical
Irish pattern, one of my favourites and a very effective fly. The next
fly is another Munro varient that I sometimes use. Green Machine is perhaps
the best known and most popular bug bug ever invented. A great favourite
on the Miramichi. Black Shrimp and Copper Ally's Shrimp are another two
of my favourite patterns. Scandinavian is a new pattern typical of the
Norwegian style. Greasedliner invented by Harry Lemire is a superb steelhead
skater. At the opposite end of the scale the Bunny Leech is a down and
dirty steelhead fly. The flies shown are not to scale. Ally Gowans is
a fly tying instructor and lecturer.
