SalarMan 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2024 That fly looks very good Arthur. A pattern I haven't tied in ages. I'll have to give it another go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heff2 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2024 Thx George, Dave posted some tying instruction on the Classic Salmon fly facebook page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2024 Hmmm. I haven't contacted Dave in a couple of years. We used to email occasionally, but somehow drifted away from that. He invited me into his tying group on Facebook, but since I have never been connected with that site and do not intend to be involved I was unable to take him up on the invite. He is a great tyer and his instructions would no doubt be of tremendous value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyflinger 0 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Just spectacular !!!!! . . . some of you guys have absolutely amazing skills. I tie mostly size 20-22 flies (that don't take many hours to complete). But I do like a beautiful jungle cock cheek on some streamers . . . Congratulations and Best Regards, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heff2 0 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:21 AM Thx @flyflinger I was tying a sz 20 midge the other day, had to find my readers for that one. Forgot how tricky the little ones can be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
