Don't fish for salmon but those are nice looking flies

salmon flies look ace mate, never tied anything like that myself, look tasty.. "a windy day on a highland loch" sounds good to me!! ah when are you away to eye?  was going to visit for the first time this summer but was advised not too because the water quality wouldn't be great..maybe leave it till early next year now??

Beautifully tied Andy. Grilse Killers !

No idea about water quality but the weather looks perfect for Wednesday when we're heading up, never fished it so will have to see how it fishes. If it's mince it's a good excuse to go back earlier next year

[pedropete]

Both Look excellent, what's the body?
once you've tied in the deer hair don't be afraid to sweep it right back and pinch it tight to the shank. I always keep my scissors pointing to the tail, keeps the shape of the head tapered back into the fly, if you point the scissors up and down it makes a step.

I'm guessing its Organza ? Never seen it used for that right enough but it's a very good idea and would make for a quick and robust tie. Nice patterns Scott  :
