SRC Flies
If there's anything I know less about than salmon flies (and at least I have caught salmon, albeit hatchery kings from the Salmon River in NY) it's sea-run cutthroat flies, but I do know pretty and the Borden Special is a pretty fly; maybe not this one so much.
Regards,
Scott

I've had some luck with similar flies, especially Comets, but most of the shad fishing I do is on the Potomac in deep water/strong current and I usually have to use something heavier, even with a Teeny T250 line. My go-to "flies" have been 1/16 oz crappie jigs with Mr. Twister tails, a real joy to cast, especially when the wind is up.

Tied the wing with the Ed Haas method Allan described in the Coal Car sbs - facing forward over the eye of the hook, then folded back; locks the hair in place.

Great looking bunch of flies that no self respecting SRC could resist.
Think you meant Ed Haas.
