Several years ago, our web host, Bob Skehan, published a feature of flies where he converted traditional salmon flies to featherwing stream form. A few years later, on our little streamers@ discussion list, the guys got to talking and decided to do something similar, only this time instead of featherwing streamers, we would tie the flies as little bucktails. So - there you have it - a feature of atlantic salmon patterns tied in "trout bucktail" form. Bob Petti November 2004 Click on images for larger view.
