Salmon Hook Size Guide
In early and late season the waters are usually running higher and deeper. Larger fish can be seen and often there are more aggressive takes, demanding larger hooks. These fish are often stimulated by larger flies also so in early and late season use size 4 and 6 size hooks.
Summer sees waters lower and Salmon are often stimulated by smaller flies, even on large rivers fish will be taking flies as small as sizes 14 and 16.
Salmon Fly Colour Tips
Early season is a time for flies colored with more green or green flashes such as Stoats Tail Green Butt. As summer arrives then yellow salmon fishing flies such as Ally’s Cascade and Allys Yellow Shrimp come into their own. Autumn sees more movement towards reds and purple in the feathers of your salmon flies, try Ally’s Red, Francis Red and Ally’s Purple Shrimp.
