Tied on golden hooks in sizes 3 – 9 or on tubes.

The usual (light and dark variant) The most classic River Byske fly of them all, extremely effective for salmon during the whole season.

Tempelhund, Temple dog (variant) An effective fly that is perfectly adapted to River Byske’s somewhat humus coloured water.

Fish the fly in a slow manner with continuous upstream mending. Vary the speed of the fly when fishing for salmon but generally fish it faster than if fishing for sea trout.
