#1 and #2 (the Kingsfisher)are probably the earliest examples of recorded salmon flies . #1 listed about 1775 and the Kingsfisher jisted a few years later. Then we have the Black dog and three from Taylor from about the same period. Lastly is the Ogmore, first published by Bainbridge in 1816 ,but, no doubt around for a long time prior to that
A couple from Kelsons` from the Salmon Fly. The Captain was sometimes referred to as the Poynder in Scotland
The Torrish was a killer on the Helmsdale according to Kelson. The Orange Parson probably the most clourful of the Parson Flies . Mu favourite anyway
