A mudler

A big chartreuse mudler was given to me by the gentleman(a former Montrealer) who owns Strathdee’s Fly Shop in Margaree. He told me that it was great for fresh fish in the lower river. Although I fished it with confidence, nothing gave.
9 years later,early in the season, on a small river on the north shore of the St.Lawrence, the only 2 fish I saw were rolling behind a strong current. After an hour & several flies later, this big green mudler caught my eye as I fingered through my "outcasts" fly box.
15 minutes after my first cast with it, a bright 12 pound hen fresh with sealice lay at my knees.
I have tied different variations of it, but I really like this one: (thanks for the wood duck Andy)
Thanks for looking

That man would be Mack who posts here (not in awhile) as Omega45.
You'll never go wrong with his tips when it comes to salmon- he knows his stuff and has always been more than helpfull & kind to many an angler.

Yes Mack! Pointed me in the right direction & gave me some good info on the area. He also lent me a pair of sunglasses because I had lost mine. Very nice guy.
