A great summer dry fly The Bomber dry fly was originally designed as a commotion fly for fishing in the headwaters of the Miramichi River in New Brunswick. Allegedly, it was Mr. Elmer Smith who tied the first Bomber. Initially intending the fly to be fished sub-surface, he later recognized its potential as a salmon dry fly and created various versions of it. Today, the Bomber is the number one salmon dry fly for most anglers, tied in multiple colors and sizes. Legend has it that Mr. Smith got his inspiration for the Bomber fly after seeing a salmon rise to the cigar butt he had just thrown into the river.

Body from deer hair attracts salmon and steelhead All our Tube Bombers are tied with US whitetail deer hair. The material is buoyant but not hollow as often mentioned in books and magazines – in fact, the hair contains a spongy material that keeps the deer well-insulated during winter – More importantly, these hairs are great fish attractors. There is no real explanation for this other than salmon and steelhead don’t mind snacking on animals with pelts.
