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.
TS Black Stealth Double - A slim, black fly with a hint of green is a must when fishing clear rivers. Although black is very contrasting, it is also very discreet and there is just something very fishy about a black fly, regardless of the species. This pattern of Tellis has often proved its worth in the warmer summer months when the salmon or sea trout are settling in the rivers. When the typical Norwegian river reaches its typical summer conditions, this fly can often be found at the end of the leader of Tellis Katsogiannos. A pattern you should definitely have with you!
