The Fishing Fly Patterns that are used to catch Salmon are either tied to match baitfish that the Salmon eat or they are large colorful creations that the Salmon attack in Fresh water.
When fished off the coast in saltwater the Patterns imitate such baitfish as smelt, herring, and other small fish that live in the coastal regions.
When the Salmon enter the Freshwater they are on their way to spawn and no longer feed. The patterns then turn to bright colors like orange, green, red, yellow.
These patterns are mostly wet patterns that are sparsely tied so that they sink fast.
