Dimmbla Purple

The purple version of Dimmbla which was designed by Thordur Petursson from Husavik in North Iceland hand has long since become a famous salmon fly for the success the fly has achieved. The fly has been around for several decades now and is beautifully designed, a bit of a fancy one but that’s how many of his flies are. However, the most important thing about this fly is how good it is while fishing, and as it has already proven its worth. If you are heading for salmon fishing in the North of Iceland, Dimmbla is a fly that can be safely recommended and should be in your arsenal.

Here you can see Dimmbla be tied on a salmon double hook.
