Some of my greatest favorite flies are "Speyflugor " tied with long flowing hackle on the single hook. Bound on the larger irons are excellent flies in search efetr Springer in Scotland or May and junilax here at home in Scandinavia. In the smaller sizes, they are absolutely great for salmon fishing in August and later in the season also for trout fishing in daylight and slow water. Restricted to single hook will fly very easily and with the sweeping hackles creates a translucent, very vivid impression in the water. This pattern, Em Silver Spey, is excellent for fishing in August. A few years ago announced Whiting Farms that they had developed a neck with ersättningshackel to blah Hager and expectations among us fly tiers were huge in this new superhackel, once it hit the market, it was probably many who were disappointed, the springs were not at all by Hager, they were much thinner and tape it in those Body hackle so they were not keeping up the fly in the water but it fell to the bottom like a stone and the fly was completely lifeless. After some tinkering and testing, I found the right method to use these hackle and create wonderful living flies.
