Collie Dog Silver Fly

About the Collie Dog Silver Salmon Atlantic Fly

The Collie Dog, with Silver Body and Double Hook, is a timeless and highly respected Atlantic salmon fly, celebrated for its simplicity, balance and deadly effectiveness. With its clean black wing and bright silver body, this pattern offers a striking yet refined profile that has accounted for salmon across generations.

This version features a gleaming silver tinsel body, creating strong light reflection and clear segmentation in the water. The sleek black wing flows smoothly over the back of the fly, producing a natural, undulating movement when fished on the swing. The contrast between the bright body and dark wing provides excellent visibility without excessive flash, making it a versatile choice in a range of water conditions.

Mounted on a silver double hook, the fly offers a traditional presentation with secure hooking power and a balanced swim. The double hook profile sits neatly in the water, giving the Collie Dog a steady, controlled action through classic salmon pools.
