Supervisor Atlantic Salmon Fly

The Supervisor is a classic Atlantic salmon fly designed to mimic the appearance of finger smelt, a primary food source for salmon and steelhead in New England waters. With its sleek profile and carefully selected materials, this streamer-style fly effectively triggers aggressive strikes from migratory fish in both rivers and coastal estuaries.

Tied with a combination of natural and synthetic materials, the Supervisor provides lifelike movement and flash in the water, making it an excellent choice for fishing in clear or slightly stained conditions. Its traditional design has made it a staple in the fly boxes of anglers targeting Atlantic salmon, steelhead, and even large trout.

To fish the Supervisor effectively, swing it through runs or strip it in short, erratic bursts to mimic an injured baitfish. It performs well in both slow and fast currents, making it a versatile option for anglers looking to cover different water conditions. Whether fishing in New England rivers or other salmon-rich waters, this fly remains a trusted pattern for those pursuing powerful migratory fish.
