Black Bear Green Butt

Atlantic Salmon Salmon Steelhead Baitfish

A long proven must for Atlantic salmon on the storied rivers of eastern Canada, and a trusty favorite for steelhead on many western fisheries too, the Black Bear Green Butt is equally deadly on both the deep-sunk and near-surface swings. Surprisingly effective in smaller sizes when waked or skated using the riffle hitch technique as well, the Black Bear Green Butt is a wise and reliable choice indeed.

Blue Charm

Atlantic Salmon Salmon Baitfish

The Blue Charm began over a century ago as a simple British featherwing pattern; often tied as a small “low-water” fly. Since then it has become a popular and effective fly pattern everywhere Atlantic salmon are fished. Variations include adding elements of the original, such as an ostrich herl butt or Golden pheasant topping. The original mallard or turkey and teal feather wing has been replaced by grey squirrel tail, sometimes with a Krystal lash underwing. Newfoundlanders like to substitute moose hair for the wing, or, recently, a white calf-tail wing. Other variations include hackle substitution of iridescent blue peacock neck feather or a lighter blue colour such as Silver Doctor blue

Steelhead Attractor

This pattern was created by Lloyd Silvius of Eureka, CA in 1946 to fish for the fall run of Steelhead on the Eel River. It has since become a productive pattern wherever and whenever Steelhead run. It is truly one of the most effective patterns ever made and belongs on anyone's top 10 list of patterns. Especially productive in low water.

The Woolly Worm is an artificial fly commonly categorized as a wet fly or nymph and is fished under the water surface. It is a popular pattern for freshwater game fish and was a very popular fly in the 1950s–1970s in the west. Charles Brooks in Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout recommends the Woolly Worm as a general purpose nymph pattern in most western trout waters in any fly box. Woolly Worms are typically fished in streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes for trout, bass, and panfish. Today, Woolly Worms are tied in a variety of styles and colors to imitate a large aquatic nymphs such as stoneflies, dragonflies, damselflies or hellgrammites.
