Don, I have some 4" reverse tied ones too. I'll see if I can get a pic up later. You can't really tie that pattern with the flashabou as easy as the other stuff. I like the flash for perch flies and dressed trebles but not so much on the salmon flies.

For Don

Reverse tied

Looking good Greg!

Hey Don, Most of Chicagoland doesn't know Salmon are in the lake either so your not alone.

You can take pictures and make flies. No wonder Bill has you on his boat.

And most importantly, I can fish. Lol

Very nice looking flies man!!!

Those r nice!!

I also got into the fly tying a long time ago. It has since grown into spoon re painting also. That started as some of the spoons we bought lost there paint after 1 or 2 fish. Now during the dog days of winter I paint & tie so it gives me lots to think about. Some work great, the 2 on the right of the picture have caught almost everything in the lake depending on where I run it.

Those look nice! I always wonder on spoon patterns and why some have the ladder back or slant strip and what that looks like in the fish's eyes.
