The fly in the top left looks like a 9-3 and the one on the top right looks like a Barnes special and the one below it with the marabou looks like a Cardinale. All old time trolling or casting streamers.

Hi,
They all have the look to be "OLD" Salmon Streamers.
My grandfather used to be an avid flyfisherman and I has his fly collection.
He used to fish for Salmon often. They are probably deadly too.
I used one "Tandom" that looked interesting in Sebago many years ago, had it in the water for 5 minutes using lead-core (4 colors) out. Something slammed it and tore the tandom hook right out of it. --124-3
If you are going to use any of them, I would check to see if they are capable of taking some action.
Good Luck

Those are all Atlantic Salmon flies. I dont know the specific names. They are still tied today but mostly for ornimitation.

is a black-nosed dace. The top left corner looks like some version of a Joe's Smelt.

head on up to NH to Squam or Winnipesaukee for trolling for the landlockeds at ice-out which must have just happened...
Here's the latest report from KTP:

Striper man, could you repost with a clearer picture? I don't think it's my computer or monitor.
I have enough fly pattern books that I could probably give a positive ID on most of them if the picture was clear. Sometimes, a subtle difference in body, material, color, or style makes a difference in the fly name and/or originator.
