Atlantic Blue Charm
✨ Atlantic Blue Charm ✨
Made by @HackleandHerls
A legendary salmon fly with roots deep in Atlantic Canada tradition. The Blue Charm shines on East Coast rivers, especially the world-famous Margaree River in Nova Scotia. Its sleek blue body, golden tail, and subtle wing create a timeless silhouette that’s irresistible to Atlantic salmon.
🎣 More than just a fly, it’s a connection to generations of anglers who have cast it into clear runs and watched silver flash from the depths.
📌 Pro tip: Fish it on overcast days or in clear summer flows when salmon get selective.

Zebra Midge
The zebra midge is a great pattern to imitate midges in the nymph stage. Tie on sizes 16-22.

3 Feather Flatwing Night Eel
For my striper guys, fall is kicking off and the striped bass run is just getting started on the east coast. Fishing at night comes with many advantages, big fish move closer to shore, and sparse wiggly flies offer an enticing presentation under the moonlight to fish looking up. I fish this primarily in inlets with a combination of swinging and stripping techniques. You can also fish this in the surf with a strong left/right current. For inlets depending on the depth and current speed I recommend a sink tip or polyleader.

BWO Soft Hackle
Good guess for tiny hatch on overcast days, best tied 18 and smaller. Use a 2x Heavy 1x Long hook, I prefer TMC 3761/Daichii 1560.

Stewart’s Spider Variant
Stewarts Spider is a classic midge hatch emerger pattern. I recommend tying this in sizes 18 and smaller. For the hackle I used a soft hackle hen feather in natural black from a neck, 5 wraps fills the hook shank and keeps it sparse. Any tinsel can be used for the butt but make sure to start the wrap a little before the hook point.
