The original ‘Highlander’ was designed during the latter part of the 19th century by Mr Grant of Wester, Elchies and is considered the forerunner to the Green Highlander.
It is notable as it is one of the few green classic salmon flies.
The Green Highlander has always been a very popular fly in Iceland among every salmon angler and is an absolute must if you are heading out to Big Laxa in north Iceland for example.
