Thread - Red
Ribbing - Oval silver tinsel

A bit rough perhaps but these are the first flies I've tied since February. Might be my only session before Tues tuna (fingers x'ed).
Bare essentials: 4-5" white squids and same size saury pattern (and yes, i have been influenced by the success of the Seahawk color scheme.)

Both tied on Ahrex 2/0, Bluewater.

That river is not open for steelhead, but the Willamette is, and it’s right down the street from home.

Muddled Olive Mayfly (variation)

I picked a patch of deer hair that was a bit fine for bleaching/dyeing; spun out okay but the head is anemic. Probably could have used 8/0 for the rib.

thread - SemperFli Nanosilk 50d orange
rib - Uni 6/0 fire orange
tail - pheasant tail
body - bleached deer hair dyed neon olive (1 Tbs Rit Neon Yellow/1 cup water)
shoulder - chukar dyed neon olive
collar/head - bleached deer hair dyed neon olive
