This is another Freestyle Salmon Fly I designed. The hook is a Gaelic Supreme Blind Eye Hook size 4/0. The fly has a two-part tag with a rib between each section. It was a challenging fly to tie but using the hook as a measuring tool helps. For example, the distance between the barb and the hook point is the area for the tag, the length of the Silkworm Gut eye is the length of the finished head. The marked sections on the threaded area shows the area for the head, collar and throat, and the middle section of the body.
Marking the body like that prior to tying, shows where everything on the main body will sit evenly. This pattern took eight to ten hours to tie over three sessions. The Uni-Nylon 70 denier thread is an excellent thread to build up a smooth underbody before wrapping the silk floss. Spinning this thread counter-clockwise for a few seconds, if you’re a right-handed tier, after wrapping normally will flatten the thread. This is a key step to achieve a smooth underbody
The key to a smooth silk body is a smooth underbody and burnishing each section. The Semperfli Nano Silk 24/0 thread is the strongest and thinnest thread I’ve come across in all my years of tying, its great for securing the married wings. Which will keep the bulk down to a minimum. The Uni-Thread 17/0 Trico is a thread like the Uni-Nylon 70 denier but its half the thickness. It lays flat when wrapped and its what I prefer when securing fragile feathers like Indian Crow and Chatterer for veils.
