A little 6" bull trout fly that somehow I managed to squeeze both a big rattle and a little bit of foam to throw off the balance in there.

I also utilized some white and light gray bucktail along with white and light gray snowrunner alternated to give it a little more depth. Topped off with some bloody white titan dub for the head.

Just curious as to what dubbing you are using @clarkman
For the head? That one is Nightmare Musky Titan dub. It's pretty long and some natural fiber (not sure which), but moves nicely. I also have used some of the big game dubbing from FTD, which is synthetic. I like the Titan better but it does hold a little bit more water.

I never thought about dubbing much until I started tying larger flies
Dubbing could be its own science
