This Jock Scott-inspired
Steelhead / Salmon fly was designed by renowned angler/author
Erling Olsen of Frogner Norway and has proven itself to be one
of the most effective flies ever fashioned for Salmon and Sea
Trout.
The "semi-toned colors" and
"transparent image" of the Jock Olsen will suit just about any
stream color or condition and is ideal for big Salmon -
especially when fished in deep pools.
While it was concieved for
Scandinavian waters, it's a marvelous addition to your flybox
for any salmon/steelhead rivers all over the world
