Dolly Llama - Flesh

The Dolly Llama – Flesh is a top-tier articulated streamer designed to imitate decaying salmon flesh, a critical food source for trout, char, and other predatory fish in Alaska and other salmon-bearing waters. This fly is especially deadly in post-spawn conditions when fish are gorging on protein-rich morsels flushed into the current.

Tied with pale flesh-toned rabbit strips and a heavy conehead, the Dolly Llama – Flesh offers both irresistible movement and depth control. The articulated body creates a lifelike, swimming motion, while the soft fur flows naturally with the current, mimicking the slow drift of real salmon flesh. The stinger hook improves hookup rates, especially with short-striking fish.

Fish this pattern with a sink-tip or full-sinking line and a slow swing or dead drift presentation near spawning beds, undercut banks, and tailouts. It’s a must-have fly for late summer and fall in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, or any system with salmon runs.
