Silver Sheep

It was Haraldur Stefansson that originally designed the Silver Sheep salmon fly and has since then become one of the best salmon fly around. This fly was supposed to imitate Eel smelt which the Atlantic Salmon feeds on while in saltwater. Fantastic fly in bright conditions and is a fly that works throughout the season, especially during mid-summer.

Don’t let this one slip away and it is available in many versions.
