The Thunder & Lightning is one of the classic Scottish salmon flies, famous for its bold contrast and effectiveness in both clear and slightly stained water. Here’s an overview of the pattern: Notes The yellow rear body gives the "lightning" flash, while the black front body and hackle provide the "thunder" contrast. The mallard wing and golden pheasant topping give it that classic swept salmon fly silhouette. This fly has been used for well over a century on rivers like the Dee, Spey, and Tay, and remains effective in Atlantic salmon fishing today. Show more
