	According to Joseph Bates in his classic book, Atlantic Salmon Flies and Fishing, Bombers were developed in the 1960's for use on New Brunswick's Miramichi River and were popularized by the Reverend Elmer Smith. Smith was acknowledged as a great authority on Atlantic Salmon fly fishing in his
local area. In Steelhead Fly Fishing, author Trey Combs states, "Bombers, spun with natural brown, grey or white deer hair, were fished upstream drag-free, downstream under drag, or even sunk and fished wet. This multidimensional approach to a sport long ruled by sacred and hidebound traditions was soon felt in steelhead fly-tying circles as as well."

		Bomber, Natural & White This natural colored fly is a very popular "locator" pattern. That is to say that many salmon and steelhead will come and inspect it and thus give up their location. Some fish will take the fly others are caught by fishing back over them with a smaller waking or wet fly.
