Pattern History

The Green Highlander is a classic Atlantic salmon fly from the nineteenth-century British featherwing tradition, recognized for its distinctive green and yellow body and colourful dressing. Like many traditional salmon patterns, it has been adapted over time into simpler, more practical fishing versions.

The DcTackle Green Highlander – Dark Wing retains the recognizable two-tone yellow and green body, golden pheasant crest tail and silver ribbing of the traditional pattern while replacing the elaborate featherwing with Black Opossum Hair. This creates a streamlined hairwing variation with a stronger dark silhouette while preserving the character of the original Green Highlander.

Fishing Notes

The Green Highlander – Dark Wing combines a bright yellow-and-green body with a contrasting black hairwing and layered green-over-yellow throat hackle. The silver ribbing adds subtle reflection, while the dark wing creates a defined silhouette against the brighter body.

This variation is a useful choice for searching Atlantic salmon pools and runs, particularly in moderate flows, overcast conditions or slightly coloured water. Fish it using a traditional across-and-downstream wet-fly swing, adjusting the casting angle and presentation depth to maintain a controlled swing through likely holding water.

The contrasting colours make this an interesting alternative to the traditional Green Highlander when a darker wing profile is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size Atlantic salmon fly should I choose?
Fly size depends on factors such as water level, water temperature, clarity, season and fishing conditions. Larger flies are often selected for higher or colder water, while smaller flies are commonly used as water levels fall and temperatures rise. Local preferences and river conditions can also influence fly selection.
Are these flies suitable for Atlantic salmon fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Yes. These patterns are suitable for Atlantic salmon fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, although individual patterns, sizes and presentations may be better suited to particular rivers or conditions. Where useful, additional information is provided in the Pattern History and Fishing Notes for the individual fly.
Are these Atlantic salmon flies tied in Canada?
Yes. DcTackle Atlantic salmon flies are tied in Canada by DcTackle using carefully selected fly-tying materials.

This recipe represents the DcTackle dressing. Traditional Atlantic salmon flies often have multiple accepted variations, and materials may differ between historical, regional and contemporary dressings.

Image Note: Some product graphics use AI-assisted presentation. Fly imagery is based on actual DcTackle-tied flies; AI may be used for backgrounds, supporting imagery and visual presentation.

Pattern Notes

1. Adjust the size of the flat tinsel to match the hook size. Same for the oval tinsel

2. I use a single strand of uni-yarn for the body wrapped up and back. Likewise for the uni-floss. No underbody is reuired although on larger sizes of 4 and larger an underbody of white uni-stretch or uni-body may be preferred to give a "full" body effect

3. Wax your thread before securing the black opossum hair as it can be slippery

4. Schlappen is used as a simpler throat than wraped soft hackle. Tyers preference. I prefer the schlappen or soft hackle fibers as a throat for commercial tying rather than a wrapped method
