YURI'S NOTES: I have had great fun experimenting with materials
and fly appearances while I worked on these patterns and fished with
them. I can't say that they are my major weapon, but I always have a
few spey flies with me. I found in the last 3 years that flies with
pearl bodies or part of it work extremely well in certain conditions,
especially with sunny weather. My interest in tying pearly flies was
triggered by a fly presented by Alistair Gowans in one of UK fly
fishing magazines a few years ago. I don't tie spey flies just because
of the Spey style, but mostly for their effectiveness. Additionally, I
always wish to have something unusual in my fly-box. Since I discovered
the unique ability of American tyers to create new patterns just using
single hooks, I decided to share some of my spey flies with American
fisherman and fisherwomen. I hope it can be interesting for those who
prefer tying on single irons.
