Some Cool Atlantic Salmon Flies

You can probably tell I’ve been spending more time on ebay the last couple weeks. Well why not when I’m finding some killer flies and books! I’ve picked up a couple lots of vintage Willis and Bergman / Nyack hooks, Damian Lee Welsh Flies and just missed the top bid on a rare Carrie Stevens (I probably should not have posted about that one). Check these finds out.

More from the same seller, tied by Richard LaMonte of New York State. (Hurry as I think these should go quick)

Matt Stansberry Pike Fly

A nice tutorial for big massive flies pike flies. I used a ton of the saltwater yak hair on some streamers for a customer last year and loved the results. The hair has a bit of translucence similar (but not quite as nice) to polar bear, but you can easily find it in a 12 inch + length. The technique of tying in materials and folding them back is going to create a really durable fly. Let those teeth fly, chuck and duck.
