Today's "daily" is a Preston Jennings inspired fly. I've tied it on a vintage Sealy salmon iron using a number of UV dyed materials. (most of which can be found for sale on our website). This was a fun fly to tie, and I anticipate many more of this style of fly to come from my vise. As I began to tie it, I could think of other materials and color combinations I am eager to try.
