I did use a bit too much fibers. But its a first attempt so...

Right here's my last two as I need to sort out some Salmon patterns,


I'm much happier with these but I still can't seem to get that lateral line material where I'd like it.

still - getting closer

Sandy,

I'm a few colours shy of representing a trout but I've ordered some more.

I bet Rob has Trout patterns already tied.

Sorry Cam. forgot to say

great looking fly - we're obviously not in Rob's league but I'm sure we can catch on these.

Keep them coming.

Excellent stuff guys :z16

Great to see you experimenting with such a wide range of patterns and materials, from these cracking flies down to wee dries.

Best wishes

Bumped into Rob in a certain emporium of fine tackle on Friday (late) afternoon, we discussed a few things in fly design/methods but I'm intrigued..... and also wish I could have gone to the second evening. But, work comes first  :z6

I can't see why some of those materials couldn't be made to work in salmon flies. For example, I'm already using some Orvis "super hair' to support arctic fox in some patterns, I can see great possibilities in a merge of techniques  :z17

Time to get my fly tying head on again  :wink

I'll do a step by step if you like...try and do it tonight :)

As for trout patterns..ohhhhh yes :)..I have them in Rainbow and Brown and a sort of Parr too. :)

As Hamish was saying, I cannot see why these would not work for Salmon as is. I think I will try a "Rapala" one tonight for a laugh..silver lower, blue top and a yellow eye!

Dressed slim they would be dead ringers for a rapala!!

And Iain, there is nothing wrong with those flies..spot on, they look really good!!!

Oh..and like I said on the night, its a style of fly rather than a specific pattern..no reason why you cannot run some "flash" down the outside for a lateral line effect, of tie a tiny amount of Angel Hair into the back or belly. You can also add a whisp of EP fibre down the flanks to give a highlight....I often add a fine whisp of pink along the flank to give it a "rainbow" feel about it when dressing a beige back and white belly.

The same tying technique can be used for DNA fibres and this gives an amazingly lifelike fish pattern!

I will stick up some pictures of the flies from Wednesday :)

Hi Baz,

Working on it, got a lot on right now with work & I have some exams coming up, part of which takes place this weekend.  I hope to get a night arranged for early to mid March and the theme will be trout streamers, will do some flies and I have a fishing presentation I can give too if that appeals to anyone.

Cheers

Ben
