After getting some telephone tuition from Corsican Dave I'm about set for a first go at salt water fly fishing.

Just knocked these up, all size 2 heavy and nasty looking Mustad hooks and different weights. They only take minutes to tie so no big deal when I lose them   :

Not too shabby for a first attempt! Definitely get a fish on those.

perfect, Fred!  less is definitely more with clousers. use plenty of head cement (i use a good dab of thick ca glue during the wrapping) as those flies take a hell of a battering on the rocks and the eyes work loose. now we just need some mackerel in casting range! :

Dave, I sealed all the heads with "hard as nails" so hopefully that will improve the durability. Those types of flies are dead easy to tie, lots of room to work. 

By the way it was a pleasure talking to you  the other night. I can't think of any other busy forum where there is such friendship camaraderie and mutual respect.
