Atlantic Flies Collie Dog Hitch Tube

The Collie Dog Hitch Tube, tied exclusively by Atlantic Flies, is a surface-focused adaptation of one of the most iconic salmon fly patterns ever created. Designed for use in low, clear water, this version retains the classic black longwing profile while reimagining it for wake-creating surface fishing.

Tied on a lightweight hitch tube, the fly is engineered to skate cleanly across the surface, creating a subtle yet enticing disturbance that can trigger explosive reactions from salmon tracking in the current. The minimal design ensures a natural silhouette and smooth, consistent wake—particularly effective in technical summer water when fish are visible but cautious.

Its construction provides mobility and contrast, while the hitch design encourages visual engagement and active follows. Proven on Icelandic rivers and increasingly effective on Scottish and Scandinavian streams, this is a pattern for anglers looking to provoke surface takes in the most exciting way.

At Fin & Game, we specialise in patterns with proven results in demanding conditions. The Collie Dog Hitch Tube offers a blend of tradition and topwater innovation—designed for movement, clarity, and unforgettable takes.
