SalarMan 0 Report post Posted February 22 A friend who happens to live in Russia has sent me some of his stunning and beautiful hooks he creates by hand from time to time. The last package had several 5/0's which I decided to put to use. When I asked Aleksandr what pattern he might like he responded "The Major". Research showed me there are several versions of this fly and so I figured I'd go with the Tolfrey tie from "Jones's Guide To Norway". This was an interesting exercise in tying for me. I rarely tie on hooks this large, and the style of this pattern is way out of my comfort zone to say the least. That being said, I am pretty pleased with the end result. I'll do a little touch up preening before it gets boxed and framed of course. It was great fun tying on one of these beautiful hooks, and there will be more to come.
