Great job on these Dustin It's actually not to Alaska, it's a trip to Quebec (The Bonaenture river), but you are right I am going for some big ones! I'm taking my camera, so I'll hopefully have some great pictures for you all. Thanks for the comments guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWALSH 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Nice looking flies for sure . You might also want to tie up some bombers on streamer hooks also , Mustad 9672 and similar hooks are ideal for patterns like these ...........Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monquarter 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 That's a great collection of flies Dustin. While I have never fished in Quebec, I do fish for salmon just East of Quebec. Each of your flies will work. If the water is warm, stick with the Bombers and Wulffs you tied. I suggest you check out the flies on the www.wwdoak.com website. Check out the green stonefly pattern. It is especially effective in Quebec and easy to tie (fluo. green floss body, black squirrel tail wing and a parachute hackle of your choice). I would also have a few #6 and #8 white tail green machines- this is one of the best patterns around, hands down. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 Well, I just got done iwth my last day of fishing, I caught one (A five pounder) in the two days I was here, it was a great time! I'll be heading back tommorow. It was very enjoyable, even though I only caught one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would add a few Green Highlanders and a green Bomber ( see Royal Wullf Green Bomber post). Good luck with the fishing and a lot of this.....
