You should take up the next pattern in the "Challenge" thread, a Carrie Stevens style streamer. I've been trying, but all mine come out looking like crappola.

SalarMan 0 Report post Posted February 5 Interesting thought on the married wing order of tying. In Mike Radencich's book of classic salmon fly patterns he follows the way it was done by Kelson, Pryce-Tannatt and others, by listing the ingredients from the bottom up. To each their own I suppose.

Trout - Ray Bergman Forgotten Flies - Schmookler and Sils Nice job Norm, That is how it looks in the Forgotten Flies book. Here is the original that is easy to paint, but impossible to tie when you try to marry the quill slips. I'm sure with enough messing around, you "might" get goose shoulder quills to come out close, but there would be air spaces at the least on the inside part of each wing.

flytire 0 Report post Posted February 5 i stand by what i tied and by what don bastian tied Don Bastian Wet Flies (rssing.com) red, white, red, white, married i dont follow the classic salmon fly world like you do and i dont see myself joining any time soon. so i dont really care if the sequence is bottom to top or top to bottom close enough to the painting. if i fished the fly the fish wouldnt even care 😄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted February 5 First flies in about four months. Built 65 musky lures with either 4/0 or 6/0 trebles that I donate to two youth programs. So now need to get the rust off and tie some bass flies. It’s only 3.5 months until opening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There aren't a lot of us classic salmon fly tyers world wide...and we do tend to march to the beat of a different drummer.🤪 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
