Hairy Fry

Hairy Fry

An excellent minnow fly pattern in early spring rivers where salmon are present. Represents a newly hatched sac fry still carrying the egg sac for nourishment. When fished as a streamer fly, these patterns can be very effective. Color, Natural. Fly in sizes: 8, 10.

Would you like a FRY with that?, February 21, 2008
By: flyfishingmack from The Mountains, NC

"Once again another great imitation/attractor pattern by the wise Dave Hise. This pattern works great on streams where sac fry are abundant. But it also works great on fish that aren't as picky and aren't used to fry being in the water. This fly is more about presentation then imitation really."

Nice Brown Eating Salmon Fry

"This pattern works well when swung through the deep slots in and around gravel sections and along the edges of the river bank. It is a great imitation of any sac fry, particularly salmon fry. Therefore, it extremely productive throughout the spring in rivers or streams that host migrating salmon. Hold on!"
