This an 110 ā 130-millimeter flyā¦or big version ā The tubing is 53 millimeters long ā The tubing is 3.2/2.0 mm. thick ā The tubing diameter is flexible due to the special nylon compound we have formulated ā So bigger hooks than those we suggest could be used
Why are these long wing Sunray Shadow flies so good?
Gleaming baitfish
A substantial percentage of the food Atlantic salmon and steelhead eat at high seas is fish ā often small silver fish like Capelin and sand-eel as seen on photo ā Most likely the long-winged tube fly like the Sunray Shadow will encapsulate the essence of these fish
Baitfish like sand-eel is on the menu for salmon across the northern hemisphere ā The Sunray Shadow is a very good representation of these gleaming and erratic
Fish them fast!
These Iridescent flies are designed for fast waters and fast retrieve ā A thin long wing gives the fly a very slender look and we cast them across the river on a 90-degree angle or even upstreamā¦ We retrieve them in a fast ripping motion.. and often leave them still ā only ā when we reach the rod tipā¦ Most salmon will take this fly with a huge splash often jumping clear of the waterā¦ We strike when we see the fish jumping or the line tightens
