Chefben4 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2013 Holy smokes Paul. That there is a work of art. I need to give one of those a shot some time. It'd be cool to spend a lot of time on a fly instead of kicking them out all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wow. I have tried to tie salmon flies and I know how challenging it can be- seems like every time my white whale is getting the topping set in a nice way to cascade backwards at the right angle and meet the tail. That is a true beauty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks guys BTA the trick is to select a topping and a tail that match before tying the fly then once you get to tying in the tail I start a different thread at the head and check the topping for fit again before doing anything else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
