Give us a try!
Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Spade fly--Bob Arnold?
Maybe a Guinea Spade....looks like some guinea under there. It could also be some varient of a Highlander.
Very pretty fly.

My guess is not a woolly bugger
Amazing work. That is truly an art. I tie ugly bugs by comparison and never got caught by the salmon fly bug, at least not yet.

Rusty, don't ever get bit by the salmon fly bug. It will take you over. I also starting building wood lures for stripers. Just what I needed another hobby.

Post a picture. Far be it for an NEFF post to veer off the tracks with some lure photos instead of fly photos. Besides, I appreciate a good Gibbs or other fine, hand-carved striper plug

I can't believe only three people have taken a stab at the answer...who wouldn't want that fly...It's a salmon fly!!! I will find the name, win it, tie it on my tippet and catch a salmon in the SBR!!!
Well if it was tied better we might be able to decipher.. (full disclosure: I don't know anything about salmon flies..just thought I'd throw my hat in the ring with a guess since it's a beautiful looking fly)

I guess I missed that... (senior moment).Pete, I already guessed that.......and was WRONG......
I found a web page containing various tiers interpretations of it.
It was amazing how different the same fly could look, depending on who tied it...
Some of them looked a lot like this fly.

I agree, I think we are both right...TM just wants to keep the fly, and watch us all scramble to guess more and more and more....

The hook is nice and big, so it will make snagging fish even easier.

they'd probably be tied with his own hair and teeth, but they'd catch fish.

So far no winners. Some pretty good guesses though. Pete you are right that the same pattern can look very diffrent depending on who tied it. I wonder what kind of hint I could give you guys. It's a wonder I am even able to tie salmon flies with my clumsy fingers. I wonder if its supposed to snow next week?. Well can't think of any hints sorry.

TWe have a winner. Thrasherz. Too easy. Pm me your address. I have to tie another one because that one is on its way to Canada. Or you can yell me what pattern you want and I'll tie it if I have the materials.

Oliver, I don't sell them. On occasion I'll give one or two away. I love tying them,I stick them in frames and have them all over the tying room.
