March Fly Salon: Salmon Fry

READ THIS FIRST:

http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com/board/showthread.php?t=83949

All right here we go, March is 4 weeks of miserable weather and many times miserable fishing.... but soon April hits and the Salmon Fry run into the Sound with relentless Coastal Cutthroat chasing them. This months Salon is Salmon Fry. I was going to call it Chum Salmon Fry, but with the incredible pink salmon patterns being created on another thread I didn't think it should be limited.

The winner is the guy who creates a pattern that sends me straight to the vise and forces me to lose sleep until I get a chance to test it. Looking forward to the patterns and ideas.

For inspiration I added a picture of Bob Triggs' classic Chum Baby (I tied it so don't get too excited, it's pretty rough). I also included a Salmon Fry pattern I've been working on, untried and unproven.

Thanks
Steve

Congratulations Steve, I am tempted to take my vise to Gettysburg this week but I will have to live vicariously through WFF. I have been tying some fry. Fry Slider anyone?
I look forward to seeing your new flat wing when I get back.

What's the fur on the Chum Baby? Fox?

Great flatwing Kelvin, don't know why you wouldn't.

Sorry, I pressed the wrong button and launched the missiles.

nice ties

Jackd, that was a great fly(s) any reason you pulled your post?

Link above is fixed, thanks Cruncher.

Kelvin as I said on another thread that to me is the cats meow.
I am sad to say because of some new training I am going through at this time I will be unable to participate for awhile.

I'll try it again. Here is my "entry" for the March salon:

Kicking this thread back to life, 10 days left.
