Just thought I'd see what you guys think of the flies I've just tied for this coming spring. Cheers.  |

They certainly look like they will tempt salar.Like the bottom left double the best.

Colours for spring - spot on.
Varnish heads - Keep them a wee touch back down the shank, but looks as though you'll still get room for a turle knot.
Tails - thin down a touch and you'll be on the money.
Executive Summary - No doubt about it, they'll catch, but watch the tails, a fly needs movement, and the heads - don't be afraid to stop tying short of the eye, building up the hackles and wings and creating a varnished head at the base of the eye - it makes for good presentation of the fished fly. Well done and keep it up !!

Nice flies look the biz. watch the heads, too squashed, give yourself more room. Dont over stuff the fly- the one on bottom right is ideal.
Also try different hairs like fox and arctic runner.
tight lines
