Salmon dry fly patterns

[scanny]

After watching Henrick "on the telly" his dry fly patterns seem unorthodox but interesting.

I had a google but can't find any patterns for them, does anyone know where I can find them.

I'll guarantee Dave does

Cheers

Are you talking about bombers scanny??


bombers are an absolute doddle bud.

Any colour of bright wool for a short tail/target point.
large single up eye hook.
deer hair dody, trimmed into a cigar shape, very fat in the middle.
Palmered hackle over entire body, adding additional head hackle if you wish

Natural deer hair is best for the body, then chsnge the colour of hackle to suit, orange and green are the most popular for the palmered hackle.

Here is a basic bomber being tied

Or try one of these if you prefer tubes

There was a lot of water about last night so I was giving it an early morning bash, pitty the fish never made a similarly early appearance
