Krafla – Red

The Krafla fly selection was designed by Kristjan Gislason, who many in Iceland thought of as a legend, and has throughout the years and seasons proven itself to be one of the most effective salmon fly around.

Krafla is a firm favourite for many anglers and one of the essentials when fished for salmon in Iceland, as they come in variety of variants, all from heavy tubes down to small micro trebles.
These tubes are heavy and will go down to the depth where the salmon is lurking fast.

Should be in every fly box in all versions.
