THE SILVER DOCTOR SALMON FLY PATTERN The Silver Doctor is one of the fully dressed patterns much loved by salmon anglers of the 19th century and early 20th century. The dressings of these patterns were extremely complicated and included many exotic plumages from endangered birds. Modern substitute materials have enabled the Silver Doctor still to be fished. It is one of the flies that the British took to Norway and Canada at an early date with great effect. James Wright was its designer back in 1850. The silver body, red and blue coloring make this fly distinctive. Try our versions of the classic Silver Doctor Salmon fly, and Silver Doctor Double Hook Salmon fly.
