Kamikaze Salmonfly

The Kamikaze Salmonfly, designed by Bjorn, is a dry fly pattern that effectively imitates the adult Pteronarcys californica, commonly known as the salmonfly. This pattern is particularly effective during the hatch, when these large stoneflies are prevalent on the water's surface. The Kamikaze Salmonfly's design allows it to be skated across the water, mimicking the natural behavior of egg-laying salmonflies, which often triggers aggressive strikes from trout

Stonefly “Crash Landing”: Instead of a delicate cast, deliberately slap the Kamikaze onto the water's surface near structure (e.g., boulders or logs). This mimics the erratic crash landings of adult salmonflies and can provoke an aggressive strike.
