Atlantic Salmon Fly, Hairwing, Silver Rat
Some flies don’t need reinvention—they’ve already earned their place in history. The Silver Rat Atlantic Salmon Fly is one of those rare patterns: understated, elegant, and devastatingly effective when Atlantic salmon are on the move.
Born from the belief that contrast, movement, and confidence matter more than flash, the Silver Rat excels in a wide range of water conditions—from clear autumn runs to darker, tannin-stained rivers. Its slim profile and dark silhouette trigger instinctive strikes, especially when salmon are selective or pressured.
Each fly is hand-tied with care and consistency, built to withstand aggressive takes, long drifts, and the kind of moments you plan entire seasons around.

IF INTERESTED IN ORDERING FLIES?
It has become very difficult to keep a good stock of quality flies as I tie many of the patterns myself especially the custom streamers. If you are interested in ordering flies and do not see stock available please forward me a list of what you would like in the chat, by email, or Facebook message. I will provide you a quote and delivery date and only accept payment when the flies are ready to ship. Please note that It will be very unlikely that I will be able to provide custom flies during the summer months (between June-August)
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause
