Jewelry-Quality Salmon Flies by Shawn Davis
Full-dress Atlantic salmon flies have long been the jewels of the flytying world. It seemed natural to me, then, to engage the task of transforming them into jewelry indeed. So began my quest, five years ago, to begin making artistic salmon flies using only the finest materials available to both flytiers and jewelers.
Now, five years later, I have finally unveiled my first jewelry-quality salmon flies. So far, my work has been well received, having already been featured in American Angler and Drake magazines. I have also accepted an invitation to present my flies at the Clearwater Junction flytying show in Roscoe, NY on June 7th to help raise money and awareness for conservation efforts.
All of my flies are available for purchase and are released in serially numbered Limited Editions. Only twenty-five of each of my first three flies will be made before I close the Editions. Photos showing various angles of each fly are presented in the Gallery section.
Additionally, all photographs of my flies are available for purchase, professionally printed, matted, and framed. Details may be found in the Photography section.
I hope you enjoy viewing my flies as much as I enjoy creating them.
