More pink flies

At last night’s meeting of the Northwest Fly Anglers, I got to watch David Williams tie some of his favorite flies for pink salmon.

David is a club member and writes the Flyfishing Northwest blog for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s online edition.

David has been tying his flies for pinks smaller these days with some success. He likes his comet-style flies, although his version is quite a bit different from mine.

David has a nice story on fishing for humpies in a recent edition of Fly Fusion magazine.
