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

Muddler Salmon
A muddler which is quickly dragged across the surface is often what you can use to get the salmon or sea-trout going. Specially for night fishing it is hard to get a better flie. In a normal summer river I use big muddler’s in sizes 4 to 1 with a greased intermediate line, in smaller rivers I use floating lines. It is important to tie the flie without too much weight !

Rusty Rat hårflue- variant
(standard versjon E.O.)
The Rusty-flies can be found in a number of variations, but as this one, most of them have little in common with the original. How ever, this one is a very god fly for slightly coloured water, and as a «sunny-weather fly».

Silver Rat
This flie was probably invented by Roy A. Thomsen, who lived in New Brunswick around 1910, he is also the inventor of the flie Gray Rat. I use Silver Rat in the larger sizes for night fishing after sea-trout. But the S.R. is even better for daytime salmon fishing. Small or big river ? ... as long as the river run’s, this fly will fit..

Mar Lodge Single Salmon
The Mar Lodge that is composed with hair is an attractive fly to fishermen and fish alike. It is a winner for the big(early) salmon runs tied on a size 2 hook as well as in less sizes later in the season. The fly, wich originates from from the beds of River Dee in Scotland is still going strong both there and in Norwegian Rivers. Of the flies with a silver body, this is my favourite. (see also the sea-trout version)

Lee Wulff
Lee Wulffs salmon dry patterns are well known. Not everyone are aware of the fact that he used wet flies regularily when he was out to challenge the atlantic salmon. For many years I have tried several of his patterns in Norwegian rivers. I have ended up with using mainly three of his patterns and will present them on this pages one by one during this spring. First out is the Wulff Grey Salmon Low-water.

Wulff Grey - Salmon fly of february
Wulff himself stated that this fly is particularily suitable on low water and a crystal clear river. I can recommend to use them in sizes 4-6-8 and the Mustad series 8500 is a good choice.
