Hook: Daiichi 1550 size 14
Tail and wingcase: Wood duck
Rib: small gold Wapsi wire
Dubbing: Hare’s Ear
Hackle: size 16 grizzly
Comments: The directions call for the wire to be wrapped under the wingcase but that results in a fly that is not durable. The wingcase pulls out.

These guys wiggle like mad when given a sharp twitch on the surface and dive a bit and wobble on a steady retrieve. Tested in the water for action but not fished yet. I expect these to fish well in open water for bass and maybe even trolled while changing locations.
Hook: Firehole 860 #1
Popper head: 1/2 inch foam cylinder
Shanks: fish skull
Tail marabou or suede cut to shape
Body: game changer finesse chenille
Diving bill: Fishlips
Colored with marker and coated with UV resin

These flies were working really well at a hike in high mountain lake in central oregon this weekend. So I tied up a half dozen for a visiting friend (coincidently it’s his birthday tomorrow).
The white one is tied with mountain goat hair I found on a backpacking trip last fall.
I really like these Hanak 900 hooks for my 8 and 10 leech patterns. They’re big enough to get a good size leech but they’re not to tough to cast with a tungsten bead and a 5wt.

The big pumpkinseeds and small bass have been liking Steve Culton's Hammerdown Hopper.
It's an easy tie that floats well without using foam or spinning hair.

Ooooh, me likey!! Where are you going with those?
Going to hit a local lake, tied some Jig flies. See if I can get deep this time, still learning the lake side of things (among everything else)
First one looks sloppy but I like it. Pure olive Chinese pheasant. Tail is fibers, then pheasant marabou for body and soft hackle collar. Little dubbing to cover empty area.
Basic dubbing leach

Just one guided day at Isla Blanca on our family vacay in Cancun.
