Alright, I have spent years trying to come up with the materials to attempt to tie full dress salmon flies. For those who haven't tried, it reads like a list of endangered species. Well, I found substitutes for some and broke the bank for the jungle cock and even the hooks. But, I finally came up with a somewhat respectable fly that I tied recently and just wanted to show it off. What do you think?

Yeah, I chuckle a little bit when I say it too. To be honest, I have no intention of fishing with this fly. This one is strictly for decoration. I can tie much more effective flies a lot quicker and cheaper I'm sure.
