I would like to tie a salmon fly for my boss who is retiring after 27 years. He's a real outdoors man, and I think he might like such a thing. I have seen the hooks that are designed to create pins, but I would rather tie it on a nice Alec Jackson Spey hook, and then present it in a small case.
I reciently recieved a small wooden box with a hokey fly mounted on top, I peeled the fly off, and tied an Undertaker on a Spey hook to cement down, and I have been having a heck of a time trying to get that hook to be blunt and safe to mount. This is why I ask. What about dulling the point, or should I use the hook point to hold it upright in the case of the fly for my boss? And is there anything that I should do to preserve the colors or make the fly last better? Rob -- Rob Blomquist Kirkland, WA
