Blue and Black Fly

About the Blue and Black Salmon Atlantic Fly

The Blue & Black on a Silver Double Hook is a refined and highly effective salmon fly built around one of the most reliable colour combinations in Atlantic salmon fishing. Clean in profile yet strong in contrast, this pattern is designed to produce confident takes in a wide range of river conditions.

The fly features a bright silver body, neatly ribbed in gold to create defined segmentation and a subtle glint in the water. A vivid blue throat forms a striking underlayer, providing a clear trigger point beneath the sleek black wing. Fine black fibres, blended with subtle highlights, create natural movement without excessive bulk, allowing the fly to swim smoothly and steadily on the swing.

Mounted on a silver double hook, this version offers a beautifully balanced presentation. The double hook sits neatly in the water, giving the fly a controlled, traditional action while maintaining excellent hooking strength. The silver finish complements the bright body, enhancing visibility without overpowering the fly’s clean silhouette.

This is a compact, purposeful pattern that relies on clarity of shape, contrast and movement; an ideal choice when salmon respond to strong colour separation rather than excessive flash.

Fishing Tips:

Blue and black patterns have been trusted for decades, particularly in clear to lightly coloured water where a defined silhouette can be decisive. The bright blue throat beneath the dark wing provides a focal contrast that salmon frequently respond to in both summer and autumn conditions.
