What's in your vise?

They're gamakatsu 2/0 octopus hook. That's a neat idea to tie up injured looking ones, post it up!

My ties sort of suck! : ). I should leave one long loose strand of crimson thread to imitate a blood trail...

a similar bull trout fly as what I caught mine a couple weeks ago on...a little bit more dressed up (whether it matters or not).

More hair, different day

 

[clarkman]

managed to throw together a few bull trout flies for a buddy under the condition that he fish the more colorful one a fair bit...These are on TP605 2/0 (I think one might be on a 4/0 spinnerbait hook, but it has the same gape as the 2/0 TP605s, just a slightly longer shank....I think it's the colorful one).

Best served on the fastest sinking streamer line one has. I would have no qualms about fishing these for tigers either....even with the smaller 2/0.

Great looking fly. I had good luck on a couple fish that slapped at orange and yellow flies today using a quite similar stimulator style fly. Mine isn't tied nearly so attractively.

Really like the black, blue, red combo…
