That is a beautiful fly Alan, he/she should be well pleased.
I thought I'd show what salmon flies were like before the coming of the railways
and the wealthy visitors who could afford the expensive imported hackles.

Those Donald are amazing. "Pre Classics" is perhaps the right name for them.
Expense is the biggest problem in tying these. There is a pattern called the Cadogan. Should he want that tying the first one will cost over ?400 to cover the materials.
Thanks for sharing Donald.
Cheers,
A.
