Got some cool flash type synthetics from FTD today and am working on dubbing brushes
I sure like tying with the brushes but they can be a little tricky to make.
Random tie:

A little freehand in the Alaskabou series style.




If you don't use the orange Krinkle Flash and add a mallard collar you'd have The Cardinelle, the old Paul Kukonen streamer pattern.

Nice fly (and nice vise)! Have you thought about putting a profile plate or neutral background behind the vise?

Is that chenille or a tube for the underbody?

 

[Zak]

I probably should lol. Ill start some research.

I use the Peak profile plate behind my Peak vise it is OK, maybe a little small. I also have the thread rest for using the rotary function and the bars that hold those things away from the vise stem make pretty good storage for drying flies.

Is that chenille or a tube for the underbody?

Both are crystal chenille - small silver for the purple one and medium lavendar for the olive one

 

[Brute]

I probably should lol. Ill start some research.

I just cut a square of poster board, one in light green and one in white…just put it on the table where your eyes look down on your vise jaw
