Guideline Salmon Fly - TS Willy Gunn Double

There is something special about tying a "classic" double hook to the leader. The beauty of these salmon flies and their perfect balance make them a beautiful sight, both for us as fly fishers and for the fish. In other words, they are extremely fishy!

Tellis Katsogiannos (TS) from Guideline has developed a fly collection that covers many different situations on the salmon river. These double hook flies have proven their catchability all over the world and work all season long. Only in very high and cold water, where 8-10cm tube flies are needed, should you reach for another trick in your fly box! The TS collection from Guideline includes famous patterns, tied in the style Tellis prefers: sparsely tied, using material and flash efficiently and of course on high-quality hooks from Guideline. These double hooks have been used by Guideline for many years and offer the best quality from Japan. They are really strong, super sharp and still easy to sharpen if you get caught on a stone.

Willy Gunn - Perhaps one of the most popular colour combinations for salmon in the world? Tied in different variations, it is mainly the colours that people refer to when talking about this pattern today. The TS Willy Gunn Double from Guideline has been a favourite of Tellis Katsogiannos for many years. And when fishing for the first salmon of the season, it is often his first choice on any river. The colours, in combination with gold, seem to particularly attract these early salmon. In terms of colour, this fly is also a good choice when fishing in rivers with a little more tint too.
