A collection of Icelandic salmon flies – patterns, stories and how we let them swing.
Icelandic Salmon Flies
Icelandic salmon flies have a long and unique tradition, shaped by decades of fishing in cold, clear rivers where water levels, light conditions and salmon behavior demand specific designs.
This page is dedicated to building a comprehensive collection of Icelandic salmon fly patterns – both traditional and modern. Each fly includes images, tying recipes, background stories and practical fishing use.
The collection will continue to grow over time, with the goal of becoming a leading resource for Icelandic salmon flies.
Most Icelandic salmon flies are traditionally tied on double hooks. While single hooks are more common in the U.S., double hooks remain the standard in Iceland. These patterns can easily be adapted to single hooks without losing their effectiveness.
More Icelandic salmon flies can be found across the collection.
