Micro Green Butt

A firm favourite for many anglers and still allowed on many rivers and an essential in Iceland, this micro treble is an excellent pattern to pull out when the water is low and other patterns are failing to raise any interest. Best fished on light tackle.

This fly is an absolute winner in Iceland salmon rivers and should be in every fly box in all versions.
