Fly tying a Glentana salmon Spey fly from the book Erling Olsen

From a beautiful book Erling Olsen “mine beste fluer” (my best flies)inspired. A lot of different materials and beautiful to ty! Silver tinsel for the tag, gull floss, golden pheasant for the tail.
Embossed silver tinsel og oval silver tinsel for ribbing. Body with seal fur or substitute, orange, claret, red and dark claret.body hackle is heron or body golden pheasant feather. Collar hackle is teal or widgon and the wings, dobbel mallard bronze.
I like to brush out the dubbing and therefore I ty the seals fur substitute a little loose.
Hope you enjoy the video:)

WHY don't you/anybody but me just hold the thread with your fingers onto the shank, when you start, so you don't have to clip the snip off?

[@1973fafo]

I don’t know;)

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@1973fafo I suggest, that you try my way, next time you tie a fly - very well I'll add. Not that you will save many seconds resulting in many more flies over a life time, but once I had learned to do "work time studies" where we figured out, how much a company could earn more, by moving the tools, so the worker didn't have to reach as far after them aso, I haven't been good at wasting time, without thinking over it.. A bit nerdy, I know.. :D I'm also pretty good at it (never learned those wings though - hard to learn from books alone, and I didn't have access to the internet or anyone who tied, when I still tied) and I watch videos "just" as meditation now.

@@1973fafo You can actually ALSO save an inch of thread pr fly.. :P
