The Willie Gunn salmon fly needs no introduction, its a classic salmon pattern and will go on catching as long as salmon keep running our rivers. It’s simple, sparse, and deadly at any time of year and in any type of water. If there was one ‘must-have’ fly, this is it. The pattern, like most, has many variations, and this one showcases its gold body, a seasonal must-have. These are perfect for summer fishing in low water or in slightly colored water due to it’s gold body.
This is a good late summer fly for most Icelandic salmon rivers.
