The one that started it all. The Black & White Dolly Llama is the #1 color for trout and char and is also amazingly effective on salmon and steelhead. If you could only have one fly to fish all of Alaska, for every species, this would be it!

Description
Big Rainbows, Dolly Varden and salmon love this fly. Try it out on fussy, lock-jawed silvers. It wakes them up when nothing else will! Also a very good Sheefish fly.
The photo shows the 4 sizes of Dolly Llama we offer: Mega 1/0, #2, #4, #6. Use the #2 for most applications in Alaska. If you are targeting big trout, the #4 has all the size & motion of the #2 but with a trout-friendly hook. The #6 is a great Lower 48 and South America trout fly. The #1/0 Mega has an even larger conehead and bigger profile and is designed for king salmon and other mega predators.
