This Jock Scott inspired pattern have given me many a good day in the river, and I think it is my best flie in the hunt for Salmon Salar. No matter the time of the day, or witch river, the soft teal fibres gives the flie the right touch. Fished on a floating line, also on big river’s, the Salmon rises to take the flie.
