Munro's Killer

Created by JAJ Munro, in Aberlour, on the banks of the River Spey in Scotland, this is another pattern that has withstood the ravages of time based purely on its versatility throughout the Salmon fishing season. It is very effective in large sizes during high clear or coloured water in the spring and is surprisingly effective in smaller sizes during the Grilse run. The debate seems to rage on forever in relation to which came first - the Munro or the Willie Gunn, nonetheless, it is found in many fly boxes throughout the Salmon fishing world for very good reason.
