Pattern History

The Artillery is an Atlantic salmon wet fly distinguished by its contrasting black body and white wing, complemented by a red tag, silver ribbing and grizzly throat hackle. Its relatively uncomplicated construction emphasizes the strong visual contrast between the principal components rather than elaborate ornamentation.

The pattern reflects the practical tradition of hairwing salmon flies, using natural hair and soft hackle to produce a streamlined profile with movement in the water. In this DcTackle version, white goat hair provides the wing, while grizzly soft hackle adds contrast and mobility beneath it.

The original designer, date of introduction and historical development of the Artillery have not yet been verified.

Fishing Notes

The Artillery offers a distinctive black-and-white profile with silver accents and a contrasting red tag. Its white goat hair wing provides a visible silhouette, while the grizzly soft hackle introduces movement beneath the fly as it swings through the current.

Fish the Artillery using a traditional wet-fly swing across and downstream, allowing the current to bring the fly under tension. Adjust the casting angle and line control to vary the speed and depth of presentation, particularly when fishing runs with changing current speeds.

The pattern is worth considering when a clearly defined, contrasting salmon fly is desired. Its relatively sparse construction also makes it suitable for experimenting with different presentation speeds without relying on excessive dressing volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
