The flamethrower version of the willie Gunn, adds a bit of a flicker with the wing in the middle of the fly.
The famous Willie Gunn from the Brora river. Name after Ayrshire angler Willie Gunn, tied by Dusty Miller(yes that Dusty Miller) for Rob Wilsons shop in Brora. There are a few different timelines of the story, with Willie nephew tying it and Wilson copying it for the Duchess of Sutherland. But it is one of the most famous salmon flies of all time, it now spawns so many variations that it’s hard to say if they look like the original. but yellow, orange, black and you can’t go wrong. there 25 versions on here at the moment!!
