The BEST Salmon Fly EVER! 

Enjoyed watching. After over 50 years of tying and fly fishing and not being able to do either anymore, it's always nice to see others practicing their art.

Oh and i agree the Park Shrimp looks like a lovely fly. So little time so many flies!

I use a skinny snaelda ish fly in black, yellow and red thirds with a gold ribbed bright red body and yellow hackle when the water is cold. My 8C plus water main fly is on a half or 1 inch tube and looks like a surreal prawn in yellow n orange with yellow barred squirrel over top. Its similar to tony blacks ghillie fly but i dont bother with body dressing. I occassionally use a phatagorva in dark run off or a wee treble allys shrimp in warm water. Make life easy have few patterns. I occassionally add a lead keel under tube for big cold deep water. It can make a big difference esp early. In big deep glides a fly with a bit of ballast catches me more than one wafting around like a leaf. But later in the year when theyre in the more riffley mddle river a lighter fly is best.

Excellent tying as always Sean. The Park shrimp has been a great pattern for me including a PB that took the tube fly version. Sure is a great fly that every angler should have in the box. 👍🙂

Love the pattern! My favourites are Blue Charm, Green Highlander, Haugur for hook flies tied for me by Håkan Karsnasan and TTT micro Dee Special, TTT Micro Willie Gun and TTT Micro Sillen from Frödin flies for tube flies (but I have several patterns pending, both singles, doubles, tube flies and hitch flies to test)

Very neat Sean, my favourite is the black and yellow, if i havent got one i use a yellow and black!

Park shrimp is definitely one of the best flies out there. I’ve had great great success on a Gaula green version in clear water in the spring.

i agree that the park shrimp is a tremendous fly i fish it all the time i knew when the second bit of orange was going on the tail i knew what its was 😉

I have never got anything on the park but the Calvin is a different matter

blue charm is my favorite to tie as well as catch salmon

Hello Seán! Beautiful fly

It's a fly I've never tried tbh but nice pattern

Is the fly a Breathless Mumbler Minnow!😢😮😅

That's a pretty bald claim sir and i dont think the best salmonfly even exist since one guy might catch lots on it but the guy next to you might not catch anything. Flyfishing for salmon is mostly about the angler and not so much about the fly exept in a very few extreme situations.
