comments please, 1st Salmon Fly

If the picture goes through this is my first try at dressing a salmon fly. All the feathers used are from a ringneck pheasant skin natural and dyed olive. Sorry about the quality of the photo!

Any suggestions for a name for the fly would be great. Its supposed to be presented to someone.

Very nice! You could give it the name of the person receiving it - Richard's Special?
(Insert person's real name of course.) That WAS something which was done by the old tiers.

Nice job. You have made what will prove to be a very costly mistake plunging into the full dress pool. Now get out there and find some $100 bustard feathers to buy!(grin)

Im already ordering some skins of Lady Amherst, Reeves and a Golden pheasant. I figured that those will get me started since they will have a nice bunch of different colored feathers. I will stay with the cheaper Mustad hooks until some of my work smooths out.

Thanks,

looks great-

how about calling it "the uplander", or something similar. "the ringer"???
