The Willie Dog Crimp Conehead 8 mm is a dependable, compact Willie Gunn-style salmon fly with a crimp cone for depth. Its warm yellow, orange and black colour balance gives visibility and movement in a small format.
Fish it across-and-down, allowing the cone to settle before the swing. Match line density and leader length to the pool and use a compatible hook arrangement. One solid take is often enough to make this a trusted favourite.
