Hi All
I am looking for anyone who has or ties classic salmon flies.

Lost my fly box with all my flies and am looking for quality flies single hook size 8 - 6.

Would appreciate any info on anyone who makes patterns to order.

Regards
Jim

James,

If you look on the fly tying section and go to page 5 there are some classics by a forum member called Dave Medlyn. He seems to know a thing or two about tying these patterns, I am not sure if he ties to order or not but might be worth a try. Eddie

I am looking for a selection of Classic pattern salmon flies in 8-6 single hook size  and would welcome your thoughts in having them made, and what quantity would be convienient to suit yourself .

My fly box went missing late last year and despite having revisited the river area i must now accept that the box is  forever lost along with the above specific flies .

Look forward to receiving your thoughts.
Best Regards
Jim.

PS
To add further injury the origional flies were tied by Megan Boyd
