Mice 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 Hi I tied two small spey flies with flat wing. First is for steelhead and second .... I don't know. First fly I tied on Partridge Salar #7 and second on TMC 202 #8. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houndog 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 Nice ties Paul I would have no problem trying the second one for Atlantic Salmon or even Brook Trout around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btrout 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 Both nice ties, I think the second fly would work for Cutthroats here on the west coast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CreationBear 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Outstanding looking flies--any chance you could give the recipe for the second one? Tennessee isn't the heart of "spey country" by any means, but I'd like a few in my box, if only to admire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow bomber 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 Do you actually fish these or are they just for show? Very nice ties Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mice 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 I like steelhead and spey flies. I dont fish with them only because there are no steelheads and very few atlantic salmon in our rivers. I used spey flies in Mongolia. Natural colors were ok. I hope that in short time I will go for steelhead. Canada I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
