Poacher

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

Of all the Classic Wet Flys you have posted this is one of my favorites. Peacock and brown hackle make for a great fly and the orange tag is a great addition. I was wondering if you fish these wets often or is your interest more in just tying them?
