flytire 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2019 I was in the process of doing an inventory of flies I tied but had not bagged and tagged them yet when I came across these flies. I tied these flies sometime between late 2019 and the present. I honestly don't remember which of the many books I have on salmon & steelhead flies they came from or if I found them on a website on the world wide web. It must have been a senior moment or CRS (can't remember shit) syndrome.
