The season is getting close now here in South Wales, i fish a lot for sewin (sea run browns). and this fly really works here, also for salmon.

Tied on a size 6, DEERCREEK double.

And these i tied this morning, roll on April.

 

Happy tying guys.

Quite some nice flies! Reminds me of some I've tied for our saltwater trout. Although they're not really trout at all. Weakfish & Spotted Sea Trout.

This picture is from our Natural Resources Dept website here in MD.

 

 

One old fly pattern, something I first saw back in the late 60's or early '70's was called a "Seatrout Special". It was tied on a saltwater style O'Shaughnessy hook, had a wing of white bucktail, a wrapped silver tinsel body, and a red hackle collar. A few strands of flash were usually added into the wing too, but back then what we had was very limited compared to today's selection of flash. I also liked to tie that style of fly with the orange & yellow collar , which worked quite well & made a very handsome looking fly!

Cheers, Fine on your sea trout, but ours are brown trout that have run to sea. but have to say, like the look of the ones you fish for.

Yep, I knew your trout were Sea run Browns, I browsed thru your blog! You tie some beautiful flies BTW! My comment was simply that the flies used can be very similar, even though the species really are not!

Sorry for misunderstanding, I will say i do like the look of the sea trout you catch.

And thank you very much, for the comments on my tying.

 

Tight lines,
