hi all

 

another one for the hair wing box

 

this i belive was first tied by warren duncan

 

when deciding on a green fly for the box i flipped a coin between this and another fly called galway green.

 

no point in having 2 green flies of same construction in the box

 

its tied on a size 6 not sure type of hook

 

hope you all like it

 

all the best

john

a cosseboom! Very nice fly and effective for the atlantics! That fly is tied in a rainbow of colours, you could have a fly box filled with just that pattern in different colour variations.

Hi John

Great fly

A nice hair wing That will do well in most salmon rivers. The hook looks like a low water hook but I am not sure.

I agree with Phil. You can convert most salmon flies into the Cosseboom style.

A minor detail to the tie. Be careful where you tie in the oval silver for the rib (your close up picture gave you away) :rolleyes:

 

Regards

Jens

Nice fly........you seem to have a natural tendency to drees a fly somewhat sparesly...........which very often can be a very good thing. You flies have a look of fishability to them. mark..... ;)
