GUESS THE PATTERNS &WHO TIED THEM

[laurie]

Here are four flies given to me to frame.
Just for a bit of fun can you guess the patterns and who tied them

[maharg]

No, give us a clue

[3lbgrayling]

Kingsmill Moore or Athur Cove.

[Ephemerella]

Huge barbs on the hooks... surely not dressed by Falkus?

[iona at the tarn]

Don't know the name of the tyer, but I'm going to say probably yourself or your younger one? Nice shaped flies!
Number 1,2 & 4 & all tied by the same person, so most likely the 3rd is as well.

I'm guessing at

1. Not sure... Edit....After a dip in a book, I'll go for Hannah's Dollaghan Fly, denoted as 'Local Pattern' in "Fly Fishing in Ireland".
2. Golden Olive.
3. Grouse and Claret.
4. Fiery Brown.

Given that there's a fiery brown in the mix I'll guess at Michael Rogan although they're in Dollaghan sizes so it could be Tommy Hannah. Edit... I'll change to T.J. Hannah.

MIDLANDER I THINK IS RIGHT ON THE FLY DRESSER, MICHAEL ROGAN,

THE FIRST ONE HAS A "PETER ROSS" "CONNEMARA BLACK" LOOK ABOUT IT, ITS SIMILAR TO A FLY CALLED THE "JOHNSTONE"

[emerger1981]

yep! ..what midlander said

[benlikestofish]

I'd also say they are Tommy Hannas flies, and I would say they are
1.The Ballinderry Black
2.Rogans Extractor
3. Jacobs Ladder
4. Fiery Brown (although the crest seems wrong)

But I bet I've got them all completely wrong!

[sonnaghan]

Dont think they are Rogan's flies because down eyed hooks were not used in those days. Also the tails are sparce for Rogan.
Didnt know Hanna tied Salmon flies. Would Day from Cork have any input with these flies.
Very interested to know the tier.
A good thread
