About the Evening Star Salmon Atlantic Fly

According to J H Hales in his 'How to tie Salmon Flies' (1892) it was George M Kelson who designed and created the 'Evening Star'. An attractive example of one of the butterfly patterns of the Victorian era.

Expert Tip:

I unhesitatingly assert that there is no single moment with horse or gun into which is concentrated such a thrill of hope, fear, expectation, and exultation as that of the rise and successful striking of a heavy salmon. I have seen men literally unable to stand, or to hold their rod, from sheer excitement. H Cholmondeley Pennell 'The Modern Practical Angler' 1870
