What is under the flexo tubing? I like the effect, I've been putting a ball of hot orange dubbing between the dumbell eyes, but yours look great.

What is under the flexo tubing?

McFly foam. Basically a globug...

Poisoned Arrow Coho Fly
reference: Pacific Anglers fly tying videos on YouTube
Appears to be a flash fly variant purple for clear water and chartreuse for dirty

 

[Cowlitz Bottomfeeder]

Pink Poisoned Arrow fly
This one came out better than the others. OAL 1.5”. 3/16” bead. Eight wraps of hackle chenille instead of five. I’ll bet the Pink Salmon will eat it too.

A deer hair Spook imitation. A Spook Puppy used to be my favorite BWCAW smallmouth surface lure. Unfortunately they don't have good action with a wire leader and the northerns like them too. Fly is right at 3 inches long and used a ton of deer hair and time- I won't be making anymore until I am certain that this one fishes walk-the-dog correctly.

Shank- 80mm
Weight- brass bead in the back to help create the resistance needed to get the action.
Body- Chartreuese over olive over orange over yellow deer hair for this perch/fire tiger color combo. My favorite Spook Puppy was black and silver. Softex or liquid fusion in front
Gills- red deer hair
Eyes: 6 mm gold and black
Hook of choice attached to the shank with a split ring

Very nice Rich, That should walk.
