Hi IA.
Heres a new one.
This one is intended for Atlantic Salmon in Denmark/Sweden/Norway.
Its one of my first flies with fox as wing.Any comments on what to do better or in another way is appreciated.
Regards.
AllanI like it Allen. Looks like it will have a lot of movement. It is difficult for me to judge proportions on tube flies because of the absence of a hook. Where does the tube on this end? I can’t tell if its the mandrel or tube.
The tube ends with a 3-4 mm clear tube, if you look very closely you should be able to see the end just behind the dubbing.

Allan,
Are you able to get Temple Dog? I use it for the wings on some of my tubes. Really great material if you can get over the fact that you are tying with dog hair.

Hi Mike.
Thanx for the feedback.
Ive had my inspiration from Frödin. (Make em swim)
The teardrop taper, and the see through 3rd wing.
But the pattern is one of my own, i dreamt up last night.Anyways i will pay notice to your advice and look at the standard Templedog fly.
Where are you going to fish in norway ?
I was in Gaula last year, lost a 15pound ish after 20 minutes of fishing in the first week.
Later i was in Joelstra. beautilfull midsize river with a lot of grilse, and some biggies between.
Got 4 of them.
This spring im going for a more southern river as a test (intel has indicated a very underrated river 😎 )
Summertime i will go to Greenland for arctic char./Allan
Ps. i would love to see a photoof one of your flies.Hi Allan,
Like I said, your fly looks really good and will fish well, but ya asked for comments so I obliged.
Mike.
Stabburselv is soooooo beautifull.
I went for a 14 day backpacking on the non salmon part way upstream.
ended in the national park and travled to the highway and took the bus bound for alta.
The target was browns on dryflies.If you are mobile in the area you might wanna checkout Vesterjacobselv and Flinteelv.
There are some really good parts for upstream dryflying for salmon.
If you get by denmark on one of your trips feel free to mail me, and i wiil show you danish coastal fishing for searun browns.
Your flies looks really nice.
And i appreciate your comments about mine.
I believe that the more constructive critisism one can get, the better a tier he will be./Allan
