Steelhead
Very well tied! The head would do Syd Glasso proud.Demon variation with an orange wing below the red wing. Steelhead definitely prefer the two tone stacked wings.

Very cool. I hadn't seen John's process either. Need to try that!View attachment 31124
iPhone really hates the iridescence of these feathers, I was just as shocked when the light hit them.
Inspired by John Newbury’s fly, but I palmered forward with a dubbing bump for support. Never read his process before tying the fly so I may give it another shot.
A true classic pattern morphed into a real beauty.Green butt skunk feather wing. Added some confidence flash to the wing.

Thanks bud one of my favoritesA true classic pattern morphed into a real beauty.
I can't remember if I've answered this or not, but no, I don't reverse tie it. I just progressively use more hollow bucktail as I work my way to the head to get it to spread out wider. I've found that reverse tying gives me a slightly more bulky profile when wet than I prefer for these. I sometimes do for muskies, but usually not.Are you hollow tying stations reverse tied on top and bottom? Great profile!
That’s almost Broncoesque…I figured I should get something big and black into my bully box.
Tied up on an Ahrex TP605 2/0.
Sorry if you’ve answered this elsewhere, but what’s that material? Looks kinda like angel hair, which I love the movement of but hate dealing with while tying! Haven’t seen it in those colors. Anyway I love the look!
Thanks, it's frenzy fly fibre from Fishient. It's thicker than angel hair, good for streamers 3 inches and up IMO. Anything smaller and it won't make that nice tear drop taper anymore I don't think. I like how it's somewhat curly, gives it a buggy look.Sorry if you’ve answered this elsewhere, but what’s that material?

Thank you Evan.Quality work Jay!
