This is a tutorial on how I tie the Devon's Delight salmon fly. This pattern was created by the late Fred Ryan of St George's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This is an excellent pattern for targeting Atlantic Salmon in the Bay St. George area and in other rivers in NL. Thanks for watching!

Great video, and a great version of the fly Chris. I know Freddy would approve ❤. That is about exactly how he would tie it...though he didn't tie in a butt on the couple of his that I had. Nice job showing how easy it is to hood a butt. Thanks for sharing this wonderful pattern with others, and helping keep Freddy's memory alive. I have had great luck with is fly when other staples didn't work 👍

excellent job, as always. Going to have to tie up some of those for my June BSG trip. Have you tried micro chenille or yarn as a substitute for the frail ostrich herl?

@@newfoundlandflyfisher I use micro chenille myself. Also a minor pain stripping down it down to tie in without creating bulk, but far more durable. The fish don't seem to care. I know others that use wool/ yarn as a substitute because it has a bit more of a ragged look to it and also more durable. I have not tried it, but I wonder if micro or UV straggle might also be a good substitute. Side note :for patterns that call for red herl, I am looking forward to seeing how this Veniard's glo-brite chenille looks/ fishes.

Hey Russell. I have used schlappin feather for throats quite a bit. Ive switched to hen saddle because it is easier to work with and takes less time to line up the fiber tips. The only difference with schlappin i found is that you need to lay the feather fiber down on your table and manually line up the tips to get a neat throat. Other than that i tie it in the same way as saddle. Hope this helped dude :)
