This year I have done a lot of married wings and getting into the classic salmon patterns, so it was obvious what I had to do this year! With the dark\u00a0days and the focus on the sun turning to brighter days it was again the focus on black\/yellow\/red colors that dominated\u00a0the pattern, maybe more yellow\/orange\/red this year than the years before. This one will go into my collection as the blueprint, but I&#8217;ll create some more for fishing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.23.sunturn_closeup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3566\" src=\"http:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.23.sunturn_closeup-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.23.sunturn_closeup-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.23.sunturn_closeup-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.23.sunturn_closeup-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The beer is everything I want in a winter beer: dark with sweet malts and a long full aftertaste.
