duanec Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 hey - friend of mine recently found these, tied by her deceased father over 30 years ago. can someone correctly identify these as specific patterns...are they a variation of something, or just a custom tie. I would guess, but would be a long-shot. could google too, but ...lazy. mucho tnx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hard to tell without actually seeing them, but here is an educated guess. The top Salmon fly seem to be a "Gordon". The bottom Salmon fly looks to be a "Black Doctor" missing some material on its sides. The middle fly looks like a "Carey Special" Small top right a "Sand Fly Buck" The lower right a variation of the "Waterhen Boa" It depends what waters these where fished on as there where as today lots of variations. Some tiers would sub materials if they didn't have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 No problem, tell her to lightly steam them to get have the feathers pop back in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
