The Same Thing Murray is an Atlantic salmon fly invented by Doug Hastings of Sydney, Nova Scotia, around 1993, and it got its name from a conversation where he repeatedly told his friend Murray, "Same thing, Murray" when asked what fly he was using as he was catching fish after fish on the Little Southwest Miramichi river. The pattern has since become a popular and effective fly for Atlantic salmon anglers worldwide.
