The Thor is a legendary attractor nymph and steelhead fly pattern known for its bold color contrast, heavy beadhead, and lifelike movement. Originally developed for West Coast steelhead, the Thor’s segmented black and yellow body, peacock herl thorax, rubber legs, and beadhead give it a deadly combination of flash, profile, and action in the water. It’s equally effective for salmon and brook trout, making it one of the most versatile patterns in your coldwater arsenal.
The Thor excels in fast-moving rivers and deep pools where aggressive fish are holding. The beadhead ensures a quick sink rate to get the fly in the strike zone, while the rubber legs pulse with movement as it drifts or swings through the current. This fly fishes well both dead-drifted as a nymph and swung like a streamer. Its durable construction stands up to repeated strikes, making it a dependable pattern in rugged conditions.
Best for:
- Steelhead and salmon in fast currents and tailouts
- Brook trout in deeper pools or pocket water
- Nymph or streamer-style presentations
📌 Pro Tip: Fish the Thor on a tight-line nymphing setup or swing it through classic steelhead runs—add a second fly above it for increased effectiveness in variable water depths.
