I like it. One suggestion on these, put a couple turns of the fore hackle behind the head. That should somewhat reduce the tendency of a stimulator to spin, both in the air and if retrieved.Something a little more…stimulating. But seriously, I’m pretty terrible tying flies that float without foam. Working on it though.

Appreciate the suggestion and help. I need all I can get!I like it. One suggestion on these, put a couple turns of the fore hackle behind the head. That should somewhat reduce the tendency of a stimulator to spin, both in the air and if retrieved.
Those look awesome.. what size are they? I'm thinking these would be money for September SRC on the Cowlitz (with the off chance that a steelie might climb on...)Some little trout swingers sized down from steelhead platforms/patterns.

Too bad about the hooks, but that pattern is killer! What's the top winging material? Synthetic bucktail?Trying out this new brand of hook, the saltwater variety. Crushing the barb was way too easy and I accidentally bent the hook tip while at it too, so I did the bend test. This hook is soft, probably no big deal for Cutts and rezzies but I wouldn't use a larger size on salmon
