Scotty's Notes: This Jock Scott-inspired fly was designed by renowned angler/author Erling Olsen of Frogner Norway and has proven itself to be one of the most effective flies ever fashioned for Salmon and Sea Trout. The "semi-toned colors" and "transparent image" of the Jock Olsen will suit just about any stream color or condition and is ideal for big Salmon - especially when fished in deep pools. While it was conceived for Scandinavian waters, it's a marvelous addition to your fly box for Pacific Northwest rivers as well.
