  • Hi Davie,

    Just wondering, where do you get your size 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 salmon hooks? I've looked around for a while and can't seem to find any. Really like the fly by the way!

    Many Thanks,

    David (CommissarNorval)

  • Hi David,(CommissarNorval)

    I'll send you a link to some that I found on ebay and I would recommend this seller as I have bought from him before..

    All the best Davie 

  • @DavieMcPhail Please could you tie more spey flies many thanks Jan Johansen

  • Hi johansen4612,

    I do have plans on tying some more speys in the future..ATB Davie

  • Hi Davie,

    A cracking fly! I have admired these Spey type flies, but have never seen anyone fish them. My local river has lots of slow water and sluggish pools. My favorite fly for this water is a Bann Special Shrimp, which has done exceedingly well for me. Thing is, I notice many of the properties I like in the Bann Special in the Spey flies - Mobility! Do you ever fish these for Atlantic salmon? They look fragile - how do they stand up to spey casting - do the wings come apart?

  • Hi DavidsZone,

    I have fished these flies but a lot smaller than the one in the video as most of our fishing is in the summer months. You'll find these flies will last as long as any other as long as you cross rib them like in the video...

    All the best Davie

see all
