Thought I would do a post on some classic style salmon flies I have been tying. Most of them are just freestyles that I have come up with,
I will be taking these flies for a swim this weekend. Hopefully i will be able to find some nice hungry Steel with these!
Above is a mixed wing that I tied up tonight, wing is made up of Amherst, Goose, and Turkey.
Above are two flies that I tied trying to learn how to deal with Amherst Tail, its a very tricky material to marry, it often likes to split once mounted.
Here are a couple pictures of my fly box for the week end, lots of classic style flies, hopefully they will get bitten.
The above two flies were inspired by the classic "Floodtide", i really like the use of marabou for a body hackle, I am really looking forward to seeing these things swim.
Hope you enjoyed the post.
Chris
