Thanks Gents, I'm sure you could get either of these flies to work on the Rock but it may depend on where you fish 'em.

The GreenHighlander I would think to be a west coast fly, say the Humber and rivers around the Bay St.George area.

The Thunder and Lightning would probably go well in central portions of the Island, but I'm not a Salmon expert.

I would recommend the Bronze mallard, but there are several other feathers that can work well for speys as well, These wings are a new thing for me, so I'm not really up on what feathers exactly do work well. If you review Atlantic tying and google about you should come up with alternative feathers. You may find a few workable feathers in those bags of regular mallard, but I wouldn't count on many.

Later
Mike
