## **1. Understanding the Fly’s Design & Purpose**
The **KyleBooker 3 V Fly Size 12** is part of the **Ultimate Finnmark Highlander Salar Double Salmon Flies** series, specifically engineered for salmon fishing in fast-moving rivers and deep pools.

## **2. Choosing the Right Size (Why Size 12?)**
Fly size plays a crucial role in salmon fishing. The **Size 12** is an excellent middle-ground option—not too large to spook fish in clear water, yet substantial enough to attract attention in turbulent flows.
– **Smaller Flies (Size 14-16):** Best for low, clear water where salmon are more cautious.
– **Larger Flies (Size 8-10):** Ideal for high, murky water where visibility is low.
– **Size 12:** The **sweet spot** for moderate flows and varying clarity.
## **3. Selecting the Right Color for Conditions**
The **KyleBooker 3 V Fly** comes in multiple color variations, each suited to different fishing scenarios:
– **Bright & Flashy (Orange, Pink, Chartreuse):** Best for **murky water** or low-light conditions where visibility is key.
– **Natural Tones (Olive, Brown, Black):** Effective in **clear water** where a subtle presentation is needed.
– **Mixed Patterns (Combination of bright and dark):** Versatile for changing conditions.
**Pro Tip:** If salmon are being selective, try switching between bright and natural colors to see which triggers more strikes.
## **4. Matching the Fly to Water Conditions**
The **3 V Fly Size 12** excels in different river environments:
– **Fast Currents & Deep Pools:** The weight and profile help it sink quickly, making it ideal for deep lies.
– **Slow-Moving Water:** A slower retrieve or occasional twitch can entice hesitant salmon.
– **Changing Seasons:** In **early spring**, darker flies work well, while **summer and fall** may call for brighter patterns.
