Amsel Fly

The Amsel Fly was originally created on the Umba River in Russia’s Kola Peninsula. The original version was tied as a Zonker but having achieved great success it made the transition to all the alternate variations.  Especially effective during the autumn season and anywhere the water runs with a peaty / tea tinge.  Particularly suited to both Scottish Salmon rivers as well as Russia’s Kola Peninsula.  Seems to produce results on a rising river.

Tied on a black Nickel Loop Double hook.  Chemically sharpened and super strong these are widely acknowledged as one of the benchmark, premium quality, big fish salmon hooks.
