Frodin Sillen Icelandic Nano Series

Frodin Sillen Icelandic Nano Series

The Frodin Sillen Icelandic Nano Series is a favourite whenever bright conditions call for a subtle but effective fly. It truly comes into its own when rivers take on that distinctive blue hue, yet it remains just as effective in crystal-clear water where a refined presentation is essential.

Built around a classic and highly successful colour combination, this pattern has long been a trusted choice for summer salmon fishing. In Nano form, it offers the perfect balance of visibility and discretion, making it a versatile option across a range of clear-water conditions.

Frodin Sillen Icelandic Nano Series – Why We Like It

The Frodin Sillen Icelandic Nano Series has a reputation as a superb grilse fly, and for good reason. Its subtle profile and attractive colour combination make it incredibly effective when fresh summer fish are running through the system.

However, this pattern shouldn’t be pigeonholed as just a grilse fly. Many large salmon have fallen to small Sillen variants over the years, proving that a compact fly can be just as effective on bigger fish. When rivers are clear and conditions favour a smaller presentation, this is a pattern we fish with real confidence.

Best For:

• Clear and crystal-clear rivers
• Blue-tinted water conditions
• Bright, sunny days
• Summer salmon fishing
• Grilse and larger salmon
• Low and medium water levels
