YURI'S NOTES: Most of these flies are tied in Shrimp style with
the use of short half-inch metal tubes. These patterns were tested by
author and a group of experienced anglers who helped me to develop and
prove this light style flies under 3 years period in salmon rivers of
Iceland, Ireland, Kola and Kamchatka Peninsulas (Russia), Norway and
Scotland.
I am very thankful to Irish anglers Terrence Dunlop and Peter
McIlwaine, Scottish professional fly tier Philip Glendenning, English
angler Alec Smith, French angler Jean-Jacques Orzan, Swedish angler Pдr
Aleljung, Italian anglers Franco Sirtori, Marco Cipriani and Vittorio
Spasciani. Without their help it would be impossible to visit and to
test so many flies in so many rivers!
