I bought some material to start off tying the classic atlantic salmon fly Jock Scott, but I realized that I didn’t have good enough goose shoulders to create a good wing for this #3\/0 hook. So this is a freestyle to start familiarizing myself with more classic salmon tying, but not following any particular pattern. I also mix up different styles here, but this is just for practicing thread control and placements.<\/p>\n

\"dryfly.me.2014.04.23.salmon_freestyle_top\"<\/a>Front view: I like the profile it creates with the low wing and the JC sides.<\/p>\n
