Micro Tungsten Munro Killer

A beautiful version of the famous Munro Killer salmon fly which is incredibly well tied and is fantastic for getting the salmon to react in low level water or where the water is exceptionally clear.
Very good in Icelandic salmon fishing rivers in midsummer, but is also exceptionally good in Scottish highland rivers under similar conditions.

This variant features a heavy 3.5mm tungsten conehead. An excellent choice when waterlevels are low and the fish wont bother with other bigger flies.
