Hi Carambola

 

Very beautifull flies. They will surely work. The Atlantic salmon will love to grab them.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Regards

Jens

Jens,

Very nice fly. Brings back memories for me.

 

As a teenager, I fished the river Tay and its tributaries, around the town of Dunkeld,

the birthplace of this pattern.

 

I believe it is a very early pattern and that it was quite quickly 'morphed' into the

more simple trout/sea trout pattern still in use today (it's even found it's way into

stillwater applications).
