The is the first spey fly I have tied. It is tied on a hook from Dave McNeese. I like how it turned out. I can see how they would be effective – the hackle would have all sorts of action in the water. I was going to use a custom braid again on this fly, but the braid was to thick, so I just used a ribbing of silk and tinsel.

13 Apr 2011Your Spey Fly is very good…
When I tie the Spey as with conventional Steelhead an Spey/Dee Flies I only turn five turns of ribbing…fish cannot count but the old timer Atlantic Salmon tiers tied only five turns….
