Today we are celebrating that it is midsummer here in Sweden and then you are off from work.
It's been a while since I spent some time at the vice, but today I got a bit eager to tie something simple.
I found this pattern on Colin's site and I knew immediately that this will suit my fishing in Norway later this summer.
The pattern is quite similar to 'The Cluny' and I have tied up some of them too.
The picture on the salmon is a 21 ponder female which I caught on the Swedish National Day.

Hope you all have a nice midsummer evening.

I guess the Oliver will get you a 30-pounder when you get here. The other flies also looks capable.
Nice little fish.

Dear SVEN,

Great pattern ...and I have a 'sweet spot' for those very very very BEAUTYFUL and very very very FISHY simple patterns !!! (if I should could...I only would tie such 'simple' FISHY BEAUTYFUL patterns !!! AND I mean this seriously !!!) ...

I am speaking still for myself but I think the day will come that I only will 'bring' such sort of flies for 'our forum' (hahahahaha)

GREAT tying SVEN !!!

Yes that Swedish National 'celebration day...seems to have brought YOU a lot of luck !!! ...with more than 20 lbs of SILVER to the 'bank' (pstttttt we have allready a 'GOLD banker' in Aberdeen in Scotland...but it 's time he takes a example on YOU ! hahahaha)...............great flybox !!! she's allmost full !!! (what YOU will do then when she's completly full !!! feeding those 'LEAPING SILVERS' ???? hahahahaha

Yes as friend KARE brought over..."OLIVER" will do his thing in Norway !!! (as all the 'males' upthere ! hahahaha)
