    We all love to see footage of salmon spawning, amateur or professional. Have you ever noticed that these are usually modest sized fish, occasionally twenty plus. No doubt these are the most accessible to film in the shallow water of headwaters or feeder streams. What about bigger fish, thirty or...

    I hadn't tied for a while and this turned out to be the first fly I tied this year. It's a variant of a fly I tied for a fly swap a few years ago that I'd tied on a tube. I couldn't find anything black that I liked to make a tail so I used some guinea fowl. This should make a nice silhouette...
