I have it

 

Hi Rafal

 

Billy Butt is an Atlantic salmon fly pattern. To my knowledge it originated on the Kola peninsula in Russia at the river Umba.

I might be mistaken but the first time I heard of this pattern was at the river ponoi where my guide told me to put it on if I had one as it was a favourite of his and this guy used to guide on the Umba.

I can tell you that the hook is a "LOOP Black Nickel double salmon hook".

 

Hope that helps

Jens

It is recommended for Kola peninsula rivers.

I like to tie same for this season.

Do you know color of back hackle? I am not sure that it is yellow?

Unfortunately now Umba is almost empty the same like a lot of rivers where you can go by car.

 

PS. this hooks I do not like .me friend lost a lot of fish on them

Salars looks better.
