Bomber — Classic Surface Fly for Salmon & Steelhead

The Bomber is one of the most iconic surface patterns in fly fishing — a buoyant, deer hair dry fly designed to be skated or waked across the surface to provoke aggressive, explosive takes from Atlantic salmon and steelhead. When a fish comes up and crashes a Bomber, it's one of the most thrilling moments in the sport. Tied on a #6 salmon hook, our Bomber variations are built for the demands of big fish on big water. Available in three proven colorways to match different light conditions and water types.

Available Colors

Natural — classic deer hair profile, versatile in any light condition
Green — added visibility in low light and overcast conditions
Rusty Brown — warm, natural tone that blends with fall river conditions
