Choosing the Right Fly

'Atlantic salmon tackle is relatively simple. An 8-weight rod with floating line will cover the majority of situations; only occasionally will a sink-tip line be required.  A silky smooth reel and reliable drag spooled with at least 100 metres of backing is critical to tame these notoriously difficult-to-land fish. Flies, despite the bold and beautiful appearance of the traditional feather-wings, are generally simpler these days. Bombers, in a wide array of colours tied in sizes 4 through 12, are by far and away the most popular dry fly. Common summer streamers include the Mickey Finn and Gray Ghost, while the fall is generally reserved for wet flies, with the Rusty Rat, Black Bear Green Butt, Blue Charm and Ally's Shrimp popular on many rivers. Wherever you fish, local tackle shops and guides will provide you with reliable recommendations.'
