Last night I finally sat down and tried a classic salmon fly. Been tying winged wets for trout for a while, but the salmon flies always intimidated me. Overall, this tie certainly has its flaws, but I’m pleased with it as a first attempt.
And pleased you should be. Very nice, especially for a first attempt.
nice one cold. it’ll fish. excellent photo.
Great first salmon fly Cold. It’s very addicting. Keep em comming.
Yup! Well done Cold, It will fish!
Cold,
I like it. Pretty dern nice for your first try. Like that pattern too. What hook did you use? Has a very classy bend to it.
Best Regards, Dave S.
Very nice! I think you did a great job with the pt crest, both the tail and topping.

thanks one lovely tie. great job.
Looks like a wonderful first attempt to me!
Great tie Cold. Hard to believe that is your first try at it! Makes my first try look sickening… It’s gone now, a tree ate it… that’s probably a good thing.
