Norm,
How wonderful to see such a beautiful pattern from your vice! An Atlantic Salmon pattern! I love it! It's probably a good thing that I have not digressed into this classification of flies....yet! You are making it awfully hard not to shift gears and at least try one or two! Your tying is rock solid and such eye candy for all of us!
Thanks for doing these things Friend!

I saw this fly used on the Upsalquitch in New Brunswick a few years ago; never knew the name. Now I do. Beautiful work, Norm.

I specifically remember the pattern because it was out of character for those guys. All they seem to want to throw are Bombers the size of house cats.
