Default Salmon Flees..
'Fternoon all.

I need to stock up on flies for my upcoming little trip. The flies in Iceland are a little different, and we mainly use Frances Coneheads (black/red) sunray shadows, and 'hitch' tubes. Does anyone have any recommendation as to where to get these online? I'm going to Sportfish on Sat, but theyre ferociously expensive, so any online shops would be gratefully accepted.!

It certainly is williame, it was a brown trout of about 18lb+ was a beaut.!

Cheers chaps, i think it's a trip to farlows on Saturday then. when are you planning to be there ACW? I'll have to plan round the baby but sometime round 1-2ish should be doable.

Cheers
Alex

Yes!

Skúli dresses all the effective Icelandic patterns. Pictured at a flyfair a couple of years ago. Sobering to think they sold out.
