I really like this pattern. The one in the video looks like natural colors, is yours dyed? Olive would work really well but I’ve never dyed materials myself.Pheasant Rump Bugger

It's funny that @Scottp's leftover tying materials end up as flies far nicer than the flies I tie with materials fresh out of their packaging. ;-) Nicely done!!Leftovers Octopus

Gartside Sparrow has been a good lake fly for me, especially in Central WA, and I bet this fly here would also slay.Pheasant Rump Bugger

Bored in a hotel on business travel has been a great way for me to tie flies. A lot of my work requires waiting for machines to run or be available.TSA Octopus
Normally, the folks at the airport who check my bags leave things pretty much undisturbed. When I opened the one my tying stuff was in this morning, things were all over the place. I grabbed a couple of the feathers and piece of yarn that were loose and this is the result; kind of a companion to the Leftover Octopus.
