Bloody Butcher

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.

I tied those for a swap one time but believe me they were not as nice as that. They weren't bad but I only had all blue wings.

Very nice tie... and perhaps not exactly the same fly, but one of my favorite songs, about the Butcher--- by Steeleye Span,
