How to tie a Devon's Delight Salmon Fly

[@jamesryan1691]

Great video, and a great version of the fly Chris. I know Freddy would approve ❤. That is about exactly how he would tie it...though he didn't tie in a butt on the couple of his that I had. Nice job showing how easy it is to hood a butt. Thanks for sharing this wonderful pattern with others, and helping keep Freddy's memory alive. I have had great luck with is fly when other staples didn't work 👍

Do you have any tips for tying in shalapen aswell as the head of the fly Thanks!

[@newfoundlandflyfisher]

Hey Russell. I have used schlappin feather for throats quite a bit. Ive switched to hen saddle because it is easier to work with and takes less time to line up the fiber tips. The only difference with schlappin i found is that you need to lay the feather fiber down on your table and manually line up the tips to get a neat throat. Other than that i tie it in the same way as saddle. Hope this helped dude :)

excellent job, as always. Going to have to tie up some of those for my June BSG trip. Have you tried micro chenille or yarn as a substitute for the frail ostrich herl?

[@newfoundlandflyfisher]

Thanks Kevin. I will have to check it out, i hate using this stuff

@@newfoundlandflyfisher I use micro chenille myself. Also a minor pain stripping down it down to tie in without creating bulk, but far more durable. The fish don't seem to care. I know others that use wool/ yarn as a substitute because it has a bit more of a ragged look to it and also more durable. I have not tried it, but I wonder if micro or UV straggle might also be a good substitute. Side note :for patterns that call for red herl, I am looking forward to seeing how this Veniard's glo-brite chenille looks/ fishes.
