Frances Olive Brass Conehead

Frances has got to be the confidence fly of literally every Icelandic angler. We usually fish it in small sizes, almost always dead drifting or “nymphing” it upstream with a long leader. When a small, heavy Frances speeds in front of a salmon, the fish needs to react lighting fast. Often with the desired outcome. This is our trusted custom Frances model, perhaps resembling more a “Franc N’ Snaelda” type of fly than a classic Frances.
