What's in your vise?

Wow!!!
I like the orange collar myself. I tend to put that type of hot spot on nearly every baitfish pattern I tie for our local saltwater fishing.
Does it help? No idea other than I have a lot of confidence in using flies with it.

Oh yeah, that doesn't look like a pain in the rear to tie AT ALL!!!
That's a gorgeous pattern, thanks for sharing!

Very much agreed. I've been tying and fishing a lot of patterns with an orange collar this winter. Long been a favorite for baitfish patterns but am adding it to more and more patterns this year. Can I say it absolutely makes a difference? Nope. But I dig it, and I haven't tied a pattern with an orange collar that hasn't caught fish yet, so there's that

It's actually not bad at all! Dead serious!
Build up the body with some lead and 140D thread. Tie in dyed peacock, floss for rib, and latex. Wrap body, color with sharpies. Rib, tying down peacock as you go. Don't cut rib, tie in thin skin at the eye, dub the thorax, and secure Carapace with rib. Pick out dubbing and coat with UV.
Not as easy as dubbing a body, Ribbing, and a few wraps of herl or Ice dub...but that fly is boring 😴 😃
I didn't have olive ostrich so went with a light brown. Rear half is olive dyed peacock, front half is spawn simi seal in an olive color. Olive guinea for the collar and olive hackle palmered from the rear for the body hackle then olive saddle hackle for the wing. Have a good evening

You better hang on tight when you swing that and make sure your knot is good. That’s going to get hammered. Love it. Just curious, what hook did you use?

My grandfather owned a small restaurant in the mill town of Taftville, Connecticut serving the best damn cheeseburgers around. In the basement of his restaurant, he used to make his own liquor/moonshine (1920's 30's) and serve it to his patrons. As my father told me years ago, it got to be known as "Blue Sunoco". Hence the tribute to my grandfather (he passed away long before I was born).
First attempt at posting a photo. Been toying with marabou winter steelhead flies. Been having problems with getting good focus in macro mode. I think the quality of photos posted by others on this thread is amazing. And I've looked and admired all of them. I used yellow, pink and red marabou with a black schlappen collar.
