About This Item

The Silver Doctor is one of the fully dressed patterns much loved by salmon anglers of the 19th century and early 20th century. The dressings of these patterns were extremely complicated and included many exotic plumages from endangered birds. Modern substitute materials have enabled the Silver Doctor still to be fished. It is one of the flies that the British took to Norway and Canada at an early date with great effect. James Wright was its designer back in 1850. The silver body, red and blue coloring make this fly a very distinctive and effective attractor pattern.

    I am a doctor and a fisherwoman. DavidT21 is a fisherman. There I am in the photo with my Fish Snifter hat on. (that is a fishing magazine). We fish mostly for trout. Our favorite lake is north of Truckee CA in the Gold Lakes rec area in Plumas county. We have a 12 foot aluminum boat with an electric motor and a gas motor. Will try to find a great cache to drop the bug-fisherwoman

    Collected the Silver Doctor fly from above the surf line near San Francisco. I know of a Fisherwoman who'd probably appreciate the fly.

    I retrieved this travel bug today and see that it has been landlocked for a while- let's try to get it in the hands of some salmon fishermen in Northern California (that's where I'll be this evening).
