When I explore a pattern I normally try out different colors to see how they come together. This one is the same as the Hairwing Salmon that I did yesterday, but with a yellow body.

A hairwing single-hook salmon fly that should work well once the hairwing gets wet, the tail and throat should also be good visual indicators. I have no idea where the hair in the wing comes from: I have some samples in my box that I just don’t know the origin of, but they work well!
Hook: Allen D103BL #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Tail: Golden Pheasant
Body: UNI-Floss Br.Yellow, UTC Ultra Wire Silver
Wing: Two Mallard Flank feathers
Hackle: Whiting Bronze
For my first fishingtrip to northern Norway I bought a big, bright, yellow Mayfly that, when I got it in my mailbox, was so big I would never think it would actually fish (this was in my first year as a flyfisher). Yesterday I was going through some boxes and found it again: I did fish it, and I did get fish on it, but I had forgotten about it.
This pattern has the big mallard flank wings that can easily spin when throwing, but for shorter casts and in the right hatch this fly will be great to have available!
Two things with this attempt:
Two versions with different tails:
Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Body: UNI Vinyl Rib Brown
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer Hair, Whiting Bronce Hackle, White CDC
A lot of streamers and flies for saltwater fishing here lately,so back to some dryfly action: a vinyl rib caddis with a white CDC feather for visibility. This and many more that I tie are inspired from the flytying section of the norwegian flyfishing forum on fluefiskesiden.no
Hook: Partridge Carrie Stevens Streamer #2/0 10xlong
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black, UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: Pair of green Guinea feathers
Butt: Black Ostrich
Underbody: UNI-Floss White
Body: UNI-Floss Yellow, UNI-Mylar #10 Gold/Silver, UNI-French Oval Md Silver
Wing: Pair of Green Guinea feathers, Red feather from Golden Pheasant tail
Cheek: Pair of green Guinea feathers
Variation of the Green Guinea Streamer I did the other day, but this time with a yellow body and without the throat. This time I had problems getting nice enough feathers for the wing, but the skin I have did not have enough in this size. These streamers are good for practicing techniques since they have a lot of room to work with the material.
