Coley -

I've only ever tied trout flies (thousands and thousands of size 12 Adams & Renegades etc.), so I never really paid much attention to my salmon / exotic stuff. If you want the small stuff, I'm your guy. I have no clue how to tie an Intruder or a Sky Sunrise, but I bet I could knock out a perfect replica after few tries (maybe). Tying concepts are pretty much all the same right? I probably have the most trouble with some of your floss weaves and wing marrying.

I have cabinets and boxes full of crap...3 generations worth dating back to the 1930's and the only thing of value I inherited from my Gramps and Dad. I have stuff I probably shouldn't have if you know what I mean. You should see my book collection! Started tying before I could write my name...but its all been trout stuff. Size 8 - 22's western trout flies by the hundreds of dozens. I haven't looked at my Salmon and Steelhead stuff for over 20 years until today. WOW!

You guys and this thread have inspired me to learn more about Salmon flies. You're the experts here and I appreciate you sharing such exceptional work.
