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

Moving on to some SRC staples for me. Flatwingy stuff! I like to have a few different types of flatwingy style patterns in my box through the winter into spring.

Very nice to see these variations of a summer run standard.

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!

These ones were actually tied for my sisters' ornament exchange a couple years ago, but I'm planning on a few new ones this year for friends, so I was looking up my pics. Thought I'd share them, with the gift season coming on fast

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.
