:bugeyes: awesome ribbing and body tapper. only thing i would like to see is a little bigger hood

 

Great job on a well tied fly C. :headbang: :headbang:

 

 

Rocky

 

PS what are you finishing the heads with?

Jep i agree, i messed that one up by using only half of the amount of hood as i normaly do and tied it in with some space to let the body talk louder. stupid mistake from me. i tied it on a size 3 mikael frodin salar gold hook.

Im using a head cement called: Glass build head cement by Lureflash. iv been using it sins i started tying and im happy about it, iv tryed some other half the price, but they ended up in the bin...

I know what you mean when i started with streamers and speys i did the same all that work on the body and wanted to show it of. but i learn d that the wing is as import end as the body. i guess that is way i like Dee flys you get the best of both

 

 

What did you use for gut

Claudia, those particular golden pheasant tail feathers are what we salmon fly tiers call "sword feathers." They're sometimes used as underwings on full-dress patterns.

 

You really should post some of your Spey patterns on the Classic and Artistic Forum. They really are quite good.

Ah realy? where do you learn that stuff? you are realy creativ and good with the old stuff. hehe, razor time at youre place to, yeah, why not. ill like to reuse hooks. the flies are nice thow.

The hook is just "normal" salmon and seatrout hooks from partrige in the series of salar designed by mikael frodin, ill just cut the eye of and file them taperd to make space for the home invented "gut"

They are my favorit big hooks they come in silver black and gold.

The spey flies are amazing. Love the colors on yours Claudia, East oregon midge your flies rock also. I may be able to get parrot feathers. A friend of the family has three and they shed them all the time. If I can get some I will gladly send to those that are interested. Thanks Claudia.
