The Colonel Bates is a classic Atlantic salmon streamer originating from Maine, designed as an effective attractor pattern that imitates baitfish. With its sleek profile and carefully selected materials, this fly has been a proven choice for targeting salmon, trout, and other predatory fish in both rivers and still waters.
Tied with high-quality materials, the Colonel Bates features vibrant colors and subtle flash, making it an excellent choice for fishing in clear and slightly stained water. Its long, flowing wing creates lifelike movement, making it especially effective when swung through current seams or retrieved with short, erratic strips to imitate a fleeing baitfish.
To fish the Colonel Bates effectively, swing it across the current, strip it through likely holding water, or troll it in lake settings where salmon and trout are actively feeding. This fly is particularly productive during migration runs and when predatory fish are aggressively hunting baitfish.
