One of the most popular hair-wing salmon flies used in Scotland.<\/h3>\n

First tied by JAJ Munro in north-east Scotland, this pattern is widely used throughout the country, being a combination of black, yellow, orange and blue, which are all colours salmon respond to positively. It can be used throughout the season, but is particularly useful in summer and into autumn. Some dressings give a black wing over brown, but yellow is by far the most popular under-wing colour. Other dressings use squirrel tail dyed yellow, rather than the more popular bleached and dyed yellow, which is a brighter yellow. An orange hackle tip is sometimes listed as the tail, rather than hackle fibres.<\/p>\n<\/div>
