This is a selection of the different dome types I produce. Click on any of the thumbnails for an enlargement.

Four-inch dome with Salmon Fly My Salmon Fly mentor, Bob Wyatt, does a lot of domes. His are about 18" tall, and contain 6 to 8 flies. The flies are usually 6/0 to 8/0 in size. 

I thought I'd start with a 2/0 in a 4" dome.

7" Dome with Durham Ranger and Dusty Miller salmon flies A 7" dome works well with two flies.

 

4", 7", and 12" salmon fly glass domes Here is a set of three different domes for comparison. The largest is 12".

 

 

These are two 7" domes.

Six Salmon flies in a glass dome This is a snapshot of a six-fly, 12" dome that was at the Sharon Art Center Show.

Dhoon, Canary, Dusty Miller, Baker, Barksworth, Black Dog

These are on 4/0 Gaelic Supreme hooks.
Salmon fly progression in glass dome This is something I made up for the Sharon Arts Center Member's Exhibition. I used 8 different sized hooks, ranging from 2/0 at the bottom to 8/0 at the top (Partridge, Adlington & Hutchinson style), showing the progression of tying steps. It also sort of looked like a nymph coming out of the water, so I called it "Barkworth Metamorphosis." (That should keep them guessing...) It's a 12" dome, with an oak base.

There's a shot without the glass here, and a close-up of the top here.
