Banded Squirrel Bucktail
Hook - Down-eyed 6-10 long shank
Thread - Black
Tail - Mixed red and white hackle fibers
Body - Mauve/wine wool
Rib - Fine oval silver tinsel
Hackle - Red over white hackle fibers
Wing - Grey squirrel hair
A simple bucktail pattern devised by Taff Price and first published in his book Lures for Game, Coarse, and Sea Fishing in the early 1970s. This fairly somber fly, with just a touch of color in its make-up, proved highly successful for brown trout, although rainbows are not averse to taking it, either.
The Flytier's Companion - Mike Dawes
The collar is deer and the head is FTD Congo hair:
Really dig the Congo head. Does it hold much water?
Don’t know but I’m thinking it will shed it
It sheds water in the streamer flies
I tied these today:

When you havent touched a salmon on anything but a vibrax and you're sick of it. Just really, really sick of it.
Jigged "Forgotten"
The top fly - Simiseal dubbed with a red glass bead mid-shank, has been working, when it's working. I dig jig patterns so I tied up a jigged forgotten. 16F this morning, ice on Lenore and Alkali...... I hope I don't have to wait until the March opener to try out the jigged forgotten.

Recent successes with floating dragon fly nymphs got me thinking that maybe the same method would work with crayfish- heavy sinking line, fish slow, short leader right on the bottom with a floating fly.
Hook: Daiichi 1720 #6
Claws: Rust pine squirrel- stiffened at the base with liquid fusion so they stay spread
Eyes: 3/16' orange foam cylinder colored black with sharpie
body: deer hair mixed orange and brown, tinted on top with olive marker- trimmed with a slight reverse taper (wider in the back), flat on the top and bottom.

Reply to Pat (Rich jumped in between). I hope so too. It’s been cold here but is supposed to be warmer over Thanksgiving weekend. I put up Christmas lights while the sun was shining but quit once it began to set. We’ll be in Oak Harbor for Thanksgiving with our son.
That’s a cool fly! Crawdads live on the bottom, but I imagine they come up off the bottom in current. We’ve been seeing remnants of some GIANT crawdads on the Hanford Reach this fall.
