Join me as I tie the Silver Rat salmon fly, one of the first hairwing salmon patterns in fly fishing history. This traditional fly originated in North America, but has become extremely popular across Europe, especially in the West of Ireland where it’s a proven performer in low-water salmon conditions. It’s also an excellent choice when targeting salmon on the loughs.

If you’re passionate about fly tying, salmon fishing, or learning new salmon fly patterns, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the full dressing.

???? I hope you enjoy the video and find the tips useful!
