Hey Gary-I have not tried other colors but I am sure that black with chartreuse would work just fine. Good luck on the river. There are quite a few fish throughout the entire system. William
Really enjoy watching your videos. We don't fish for the same thing here in N.W., Iowa but I can see some of your patterns working well for other species in my neck of the woods. Mike
Planning a trip up in a few weeks and have tied a few of the SR Gift. Was wondering if you or someone else has tied in other colors and variations and had success w/ these varaiations ?
Sorry, but I don't remember. I can tell you that I have been told by many anglers who have tied the fly that a substantial number of fish have been hooked over the years.

Black Stones in size 16 to 12 are hitting it right now.
Nice looking fly. I'll try this on the other salmon, in Idaho.
nice video,
have a nice Salmon River fishing!
Great video, fishing is just picking up right now. Would you suggest the same pattern for the spring fling?? thanks for the video.
Two new pairs purchased this week.....
A youngster on the river gave me this fly after I helped him net the fish. Few casts in .. fish on !!
Now I go to tie some of these up.
good
Hi William, very nice fly. How do you typically fish this fly, dead drifted or on the swing?
Dead with swing at the end. Hold in current for a second or two before pickup.

Nice fly! I did not recognize the hook you used: Tiemco 206BO?? What hook did you use? And what coud be the alternative hook?
Thank you.
Just curious, was that spring or fall?
