Shady Lady – Green Butt Salmon Fly

The Shady Lady – Green Butt is a proven Atlantic salmon fly pattern that combines a dark, natural silhouette with a bright green trigger point to draw aggressive strikes. The contrasting green butt adds visibility without overpowering the fly’s classic profile, making it effective in a wide range of water conditions.
