Green Butt

When you go through recommendations for different salmon rivers around the world, Green Butt is a fly you’ll find on the shortlist of nearly every lodge. Besides being an early season choice, Green butt is traditionally used throughout the season especially in clear and green-tinted rivers. Great fly anytime you think a small “black double” might trigger action into a fish that has declined a larger fly. This classic, “original” style version is tied on a Mustad DL71U double hook. If you prefer a fox wing and Loop double hooks, try out the Green Butt Fox Wing variant.
