Atlantic Flies Black and Orange Franc N Snaelda

Atlantic Flies Black & Orange Franc N Snaelda

The Black & Orange Franc N Snaelda is a high-impact salmon fly that pairs bold contrast with the proven profile of Sean Stanton’s Frances–Snaelda fusion. Tied exclusively by Atlantic Flies, this pattern stands out in coloured or peaty water, giving fish a clear target when visibility is reduced.

A deep black body creates a strong silhouette, while the vivid orange hackle and dyed feelers add movement and an unmistakable strike trigger. The compact, weighted design ensures the fly fishes deep and steady, holding in the taking zone through strong currents and variable flows.

Ideal for the River Tweed and other Scottish rivers, the Black & Orange Franc N Snaelda offers consistent results whether you’re targeting spring fish in higher water or using smaller sizes for a subtle yet visible summer presentation.
