LaHave Classic
The LaHave Classic was tied to depict the wonderful and majestic LaHave River and all the colours of the fly having a certain meaning. Therefore, the beautiful scenery of the LaHave River is shown by the squirrel tail and its orange hue resembling the leaves . The bright glow of the saddle Hackle shows the sun by its vibrant yellow. The holographic tinsel shows the sparkling of the salmons scales in the pools of Oak's Run and The Eddy as the sun rises and sets. The green body represents the conservation that has kept the river shaping back, while the black herl depicts the darkness of the deep pools. Lastly, the red tag signals the hope of fisherman regarding that the Lahave river may have the return of Atlantic Salmon as it once had decades ago.
