Guideline Salmon Fly - TS The Usual 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.

The Usual - If you've ever fished in Scandinavia or Sweden and the Baltic rivers, you may have heard of this fly. If not, it's time to get to know it! Apart from offering a nice mix of colours, it really outperforms many patterns in typical humus coloured rivers, like most Swedish rivers. The TS The Usual Double works in any weather and any water colour, but it really shines in bright weather and in tea-coloured rivers. You should definitely give this favourite pattern by Tellis Katsogiannos a try!
