[@stephenwelham]

had you thought of using synthetic instead of bucktail,in your lovely salmon tubes,have alook at pike trek.com i use these materials for tying large pike flies and these materials are very versitile and could be adapted as they dont hold water and would enable you to construct large or small flies that are easier to cast ,i love your fly patterns,please don t be offended by these sujestions,from one fly tyer to another we all learn from each other and i really look forward to seeing more of your lovely salmon flies
kind regards steve

Hi Allan the capes I use in the video are Whiting b4 hen saddles.The size of hook to use all depends on the size of fly you plan on tying for the fly in the video I would recommend a size 8 .As for the vice regal do a full range so haveca look you might find something to suit you
