Atlantic Flies Orange Sunray Skull Head

The Orange Sunray Skull Head Tube, tied exclusively by Atlantic Flies, is a bold, high-contrast take on the iconic Sunray design—enhanced with a weighted Fish Skull head for improved depth, control, and natural swimming action. Designed to stand out in peat-stained rivers, rising water, or under overcast skies, this fly brings all the presence needed to provoke a take when salmon are less inclined to move for subtle patterns.

The bright orange wing delivers sharp visual contrast, helping the fly cut through discoloured or sediment-rich flows—conditions common after rain or in naturally tannin-stained rivers like those found in Scotland and Ireland. The vibrant tone also taps into salmon’s territorial instincts, often triggering aggression from pre-spawning males or generating interest from otherwise dormant fish.

Whether swung at pace or fished on a steady retrieve, the Orange Sunray’s Fish Skull head ensures it fishes with intent—tracking deeper, swimming cleaner, and holding its profile right in the zone.

At Fin & Game, we favour flies that make a statement in hard water. The Orange Sunray Skull Head Tube is one of those patterns—designed to be seen, built to be chased.
