Once salmon enter a river, they stop searching for food; what prompts them to attack our underwater displays remains a source of mystery and wonder. Each angler has their own theory about what makes salmon react in different situations \u2013 this abundance of opinions and lack of answers creates a space where creativity can thrive. As the salmon angler evolves, they invent their own theories and approaches. Ultimately, the sum of this knowledge is contained within a single piece of iconic fishing gear: the tackle box.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salmon lures are unique in that they don\u2019t try to mimic any part of the salmon\u2019s diet. They don\u2019t look like insects, fish, or crustaceans. Instead, they\u2019re designed to be visible and distracting in a variety of contexts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why tackle boxes are filled with so many different shapes, sizes, and colours, and why each type is bound to have its moment in the sun. While uniqueness is key when you\u2019re choosing a fly, there are certain ways to maximize your chances of picking the right one.<\/span>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_anchors_list","anchors_section_title":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Types of flies","text_content":"<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of flies<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SAIL-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" \/>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wet fly<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, it's important to differentiate between the two main families of salmon flies: dry flies and wet flies. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wet fly dips below the surface of the water, with an arcing movement guided by the tension of the line's current. During this drift, commonly known as the \"swing\", the fly must travel at a fast enough speed past the salmon to trigger a reaction bite.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wet fly fishing consists of casting the fly downstream at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees to the bank, then letting it drift. With this approach, anglers can effectively criss-cross the pit, moving down one step with each cast. Wet flies are highly versatile, making them an ideal choice in fast-flowing, murky, or high water, as well as low-light environments. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule, use a large fly (#2, #4) when the water is high and murky, then go down in size as the water drops and clears.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wet fly must have a neat action underwater; it must remain entirely submerged and straight ; a fly that forms a V at the surface while it drifts is not efficient.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The material it\u2019s made of will significantly affect how it interacts with the water.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry fly<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching a salmon breach the surface to grab a dry fly is one of the most thrilling moments you can experience as an Atlantic salmon angler. Dry flies float on top of the water and are fished with a natural drift. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fly is cast upstream of the current, then gradually continues to move upstream. To do its job properly, the dry fly should be clearly visible and remain on the surface of the water, free from any interference caused by the fly line and leader. It is therefore essential to use it in clear water conditions in a portion of the pool where the water\u2019s surface isn\u2019t being agitated by the current or wind. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like with a wet fly, you can reduce your size as the water levels decrease \u2013 #4 or #6 is a good starting point. According to some theories, the water temperature should be above 12.5\u00b0C for the salmon to attempt to surface; others say it's all about waiting until the water level is low enough for the salmon to see the fly. In either case, it's important to remember that dry flies will become more effective as the season goes on!<\/span>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Right place, right time, right colour","text_content":"<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right place, right time, right colour<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salmon don\u2019t prefer any particular colour, but some are more visible at certain times of day and in specific water conditions. The common wisdom is fairly simple: on a clear day, use light flies. On a darker day, use dark flies. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salmon\u2019s eyes have cones that allow them to see colours, but low light and murky water make it more difficult for them to do so. The most important thing to do in these conditions is to use a high-contrast fly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black is a classic pick, but white can also be a great choice. During the daytime, bright colours are best. In clear water, anglers typically prefer to use short-wavelength colours like blue, mauve, and green, while longer-wavelength colours like red and orange are better for murky water. Yellow is a versatile all-rounder. When the sun is shining, silver and gold can create enticing highlights for salmon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important takeaway is that you shouldn\u2019t get too bogged down by hard-and-fast rules for a hobby that defies logic. It\u2019s all about fishing with a fly you trust.
