The original Willie Gunn salmon fly has a blended topping with the red, yellow and black deer hairs rolled together to give a uniform consistency of colouration I knew Willie Gunn , he drove for the Duke of Sutherland and he used to fish from a shelf of rock ar the lower end of the Rock Pool on the tidal stretch of the River Brora. I often saw him playing salmon there. The fly was invented by a gentleman from the south who gave Willie a set of four patterns to try and that was the one which caught the most salmon. It has been given some odd names like Wiley Gun. , presumably by an American

[@frodinflies]

Thanks Douglas the origin behind flies are always of great. importance!

[@neilmcclure4401]

No doubt this version will tempt many more Salmos on any river. Shall be having a go at the smaller size. Mikael, is there any chance you can persuade Salar to produce the gold Double TF hooks again? Cannot source them anywhere. Probably a big ask? Thank you for the amazing videos.

[@frodinflies]

Yes - The SALAR hooks are on our list... we are on it!

Where could a guy find one of those needle things you're tying on?
