The right Salmon “ammunition” for Russian Salmon
Beyond question one of the most popular flies for “Kola Salmon” has to be the indisputable productive Red But. On a double hook in Size 2 – 12 to long wing Tub fly = 1” to 1 ½” Red But is one of the reliable flies you can fasten to you leader tip
There are many versions “cooked” over the topic and precisely how a Red but should look like is not worth to portray in this forum - However I will bring the pattern I have used for many years.
Hereby how Red But should be according my experience.
Hook: double size 2 – 12.
But: Hot Red Floss
Body: Black Floss or wool.
Ribbing: Silver tinsel.
Wing: Black Polar Fox a bit longer than the hook.
Hackle: Black fowl tied as a collar in front of the wing
So Dear fellow anglers - no matter what Salmon River on the Kola Peninsular you are going to “hammer” in 2007, you have to bring a “Bunch” of Red But in various sizes.
Roughly estimated 10.000 Salmon have been caught on Red But in the Kola camps I have been managing since 1994.
