What's in your vise?

Still messing about with squid patterns for albacore.
Hacked the head on this one, but in general am happy with it. I'm determined to make squid a more consistent part of my offshore arsenal.

Wondering what zonker fur would look like for the bell.
My first attempt at these a couple summers ago I did exactly that. I thought they looked great. I'm just out of that color at the moment lol

well shit, may not look like that much difference, but I cut waaaay back on materials (two of my four Optimus Swine's were a bit over-dressed--still swam well, but they're 11/12wt flies, not 8/10wt flies), so this is essentially the same. Although, Nayat for the tail (I absolutely loved how my Nayat fished today despite conditions), just one small cylinder of foam in the guts (the entire reverse popper can be a bit much---at least for the line I was throwing), several clumps of PrimoTail (I'm not sure if I've mentioned how much I fucking love this stuff!!! haha). All tied on a shank with a free flowing hook off the back. Came out right between 8"-9"...No rattle, sorry. Always tweaking...
damn.....just stop!Happy to jump in here
Stump Lake near Kamloops gets a short but big hatch of what we’ve called the Summer Duck chironomid. My match is an easy tie, the resin segments are completely unnecessary but I like’em.

It's been a while since I was at the vise, but I've tied a few of these

That’s to pretty to fish I’m hoping you don’t fish that behind me as I might lose my confidence.
No kidding!
