Heck yeah. Those look awesome. I went with the Ohuhu Copic knockoffs (Amazon product ASIN B08FKWL35P). I'm thinking about heading out somewhere tomorrow or Thursday. Let me know if you're in.

Is that melted chameleon for the eyes? Looks great!
Thx.
Yes, 20 or 25#, can't remember. I cut little pieces, hold in middle with tweezers, and hit the ends with a lighter.

The Juicy Bug was created in the late 19th century by Russ Towers of the Empire City (now known as Coos Bay)
and his fishing partner Ben Chandler.
The Juicy Bug has been
a popular fly for many
years here on the Rogue
River.
Often tied on a double
hook with white Wing devided.

Time for a toothy critter first attempt of 2023. Inspired by @Kfish perch pattern posted above and the perch I caught this past weekend…thanks little fella 
.
Plus, I’ll likely be fishing with Lou and if he has success on his perch pattern and I don’t have one in my box, I’ll be really annoyed…

A cutthroat fly below
The top fly is a reduction of the lower one, the lower is a cutthroat machine so far. I didn't tie it intending on fishing it for cutthroat. Usually if I try to fish body hackles this long for trout I end up having them peck at the hackles far from the hook, but when I tie this on and swim it through a run even after putting another fly through previously, it gets smashed every time. Hopefully the reduced pattern will get some love. Have a good evening everyone
Very slick

First attempt at a game changer for local smallies. Probably totally unnecessary but fun nonetheless. I think the hook has too long of a shank and made it have an un proportionality long head compared to the body (it’s a 1/0 b10s with 4 10mm shanks). I think I’m going to cut the hook off and get a short shank hook up front or just fish it and get out of my head
