How to tie the Bomber
Need a dry fly for your dropper rig? Look no further. The Bomber is one of the most buoyant dry flies outside of fishing foam. This bug originates in the Salmon Steelhead world and has been widely used while targeting Atlantic Salmon. It has since made its way across the country and into trout boxes. The tying process for this fly is somewhat slow and tedious but worth it in the end. Time and time again in our shop I have had people tell me about fish eating their strike indicator. If this has ever happened to you, swap your indicator for the Bomber and next time you will be able to land that eager fish.
