One the first flies I tied and used for steelhead, another being the Black Marabou. Silver tinsel chenille body, marabou wing, simple and effective.

Tied this yesturday, first pike fly on a tube. Think i might like this tube idea. It has a Fulling Mill pike hook#6 strung up, but i made the bite tippet too long. Also has 2 rattles under a big plastic head, should get down quick! It's getting a swim tomorrow in a new place i found. Excited!
I've been playing with my @Spawnflyfish Salish sea simi seal that arrived yesterday. Really buggy stuff! Hopefully my shoddy tying abilities don’t scare anyone away from it

Filling up my winter steelhead box. The purists will say the wing is too long but I tied this Sol Duc for a sometimes cloudy rain forest river and wanted a big profile.
