Top Ten Flies August 2024

For the first time in F4F chart history, 50% of the top patterns are Salmon flies! Even more impressively, two of these Salmon patterns have made it into the top 3. Last August, we saw Salmon patterns gaining traction at the lower end of the chart, prompting us to create a special Salmon chart. This year, they're showing up in equal numbers (in terms of sales), indicating a growing interest among anglers targeting Salmon.

The Pearly Daddy continues to reign as the most popular fly of the month, securing the top position for the fourth consecutive year; an undeniably highly effective favourite for August. The Apache White also remains a solid performer throughout the year. Meanwhile, Gnats and Snails have proven to be effective choices during the summer months.

As for Salmon flies, we have three traditional doubles leading the pack: Ally's Shrimp Cascade, The Ghillie, and the Aurora Cascade. Additionally, micros have been particularly popular for low water conditions.

These trending flies provide a clear picture of what's happening on the water right now and highlight the patterns other anglers are using to land their catches!
