Wandering the country with rifle and spey rod.
It’s hard to do, but shorter wings will improve the silhouette. Keep at the wings, that will fish.
gotta be honest Scott, all of these variants look nothing like anything I have in my box but damn I love the blending & cool colors on not just this one, but all that you post!Western Tanager

Let those fish decide if it's shit or not.

That’s very kind of you. A lot of the ideas come from the various Irish & U.K. sites; it’s amazing what some of their more effective flies look like, and I really love the colors they use. Some of it works here, too, especially the muddlers, although I have to admit I spend my time on streams with strains of particularly dumb fish (#8 McGintys on snelled hooks you might find in a gas station would probably do just as well).

I will, hoping to be able to sneak out tomorrow and hit some warm water. Just worried the action will be funky.Let those fish decide if it's shit or not.
Think I would have liked the fly more with the single front hook.
But ya don't know if you don't try
