Salmon Singles Selection

There’s a reason why framed flies are tied on singles – they just look amazing. But single hook salmon flies are not only “big irons for artsy purposes”. In fact, they are the only option for many successful anglers. Strength and durability of the hook, hook setting preferences or just a bit less weight for low water conditions all make singles extremely effective fishing flies. And if you ask an Icelandic guide about the hottest fishing these days, many will mention retro-style riffling hitch fishing with single hook flies. We picked some of our top recommendations into an “all-purpose” selection with #4-8 allrounders that will work just about anywhere.
