That looks great - how long does you to make one of those? 13 hours ago, Mark Knapp said: Rainbow Warriors for the swap. 👍 59 minutes ago, flytire said: Salmo Le Sac Another beauty off your vise. Do you know who makes that salmon rabbit fur? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if I wanted to sit down in a focused way to turn them out in volume (e.g., limiting distractions, laying out all the materials first, etc), I could probably tie it in 20-25 minutes? These days I don't get out to fish very much though, so I'm not focused on volume so much as the tying process in general. 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The little fishing I have been able do lately has been mostly for large and small mouth, been thinking about tying some up after my next trip to the fly shop.

I've got a day off from work next Friday, and I'm planning to spend it looking for smallmouth 🙂 I really enjoy tying gamechangers and find them engaging. It's even better seeing them swim though!
