My 1st SALMON FLY

[rubberduck]

Greetings,
Mr. Naveen, nice and very artistic tying! i'm just curious...the white colour feathers with black tip used for the wings belongs to which bird? and what is the name for the fly? I know nuts about salmon flies.

You've mentioned to me something about a plastic item that is use for covering the salmon hooks....cant recall the name....could you please elaborate and thanks.

Thanks for the compliment, Mr. RD. Actually, i too know nuts about salmon flies. Still practicing.. The white feathers are from Amherst Pheasant neck feathers. These are natural color feathers. I'm not sure what to name the fly. I was sitting at home bored and suddenly this thing came to my mind and i tied it. (or I might have seen it somewhere but can't remember that too.) That's about it
I've also used yellow color 4 strand thread for the abdomen, Golden pheasant Crest for the tail, peacock herls for partitions...

The thing that i mentioned to you is called guts...These are used in ring less salmon hooks ( Nowadays, used in almost all salmon flies regardless of having ring or not)



They are made of braided or silk threads...

Hope this helps...
