Royal Wulff #4

Hook: Partridge Bomber #4
Thread: UNI 6/0 Brown
Tail: Moose Body Hair Natural
Body: Peacock Herl – UNI red floss – Peacock Herl
Hackle: 2x Whiting Bronze
Wing: Calf Body Hair White

I’m on a Salmon Bomber tying frenzy these days, but I need some other dries for salmon as well, so I figured I could pull this pattern that I’ve used very successfully for trout before up to the big league: on a #4 bomber hook!

Tying this up on size #2 to #8 to put in my salmon-dry box, more about that later. I’m on the lookout for other dries for salmon, so if you have some good tips on what I should have: give me a comment here and let me know!

Salmon Bomber #2

Hook: Partridge Bomber #2
Thread: UNI 6/0
Tail: Calf Body
Body: Wapsi Premo Deer Hair Bleached
Hackle: Whiting Bronze
Wing: Calf Body

Got a shipment of different size (#2-#8) Partridge Bomber hooks the other day and starting with the largest hook I’ll start tying up a box of these in different colors. The smaller ones will work well for trout as well, not only salmon, so this will be something to test out just as the sun is setting and the trout goes hunting after mice.

Green Butt Spey

Hook: Alec Jackson Spey #1.5
Thread: UNI 6/0 Black
Tag: UNI-French Medium Oval
Body: First half green Glo-Brite Fluorescent Floss, second half peackock herl
Rib: UNI-French Medium Oval
Hackle: Black heron
Wing: Mallard Duck Bronze Shoulder

A fluorescent green spey! Inspiration came from a pattern on the facebook spey tyer page. Tried to keep this slim and not fill it with too much material, and I think I succeeded in that: it is slim, just two turns of hackle and a overall slim profile. This will swim very well!

A variant of the Willie Gunn again this morning, with bucktail wrapping the tube before I tie in the hackle and the wing.

Blue Charm on tube

A lot of Blue Charms from me this winter, this time it is (yet) another one, but now on tube.

After all of these different versions of Blue Charm on different hooks, styles and sizes I’m thinking about making a frame with 7-8 different versions to hang on the wall, what do you think?
