What's in your vise?

[mcswny]

Some marabou tubes. Also, if you have any secret high water bank spots near Portland, holler at me in the DMs. I’m starting to get cabin fever right about now…

The big river through town is so high and so dark.

Sure is. I did a bit of scouting around the other two, and my hopes are not high, unlike the water.

Sweet fly. What hook is that?

 

[GOTY]

Pink and purple on a sz 3/0 AJ. Hopefully it's bright enough for a steelhead to see it

A couple more string leeches
And some beach clouser platforms for later this year.

On the clouser frames--is that Amnesia linking the stinger hook? And what knot is that you're using? Looks like a good platform.

I watched Davie McPhail tie this one and gave it a go.

Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to tie those on a 15mm Wadington Intruder Shank?

I have some scrap slick shooter laying around so used that for line. The knot is a snell but not that clean as the SS is thick and not perfectly round. Sort of screwing around with different ideas and material on hand.

Probably, I'm burning thru some short shanks I have on hand to use them up.

Another simple laker fly for this summer.



And some more lake box fillers.

My take on a white doozer
-I wouldn't mind a little input:
Do you think my rabbit "tail" is too long?

Barred white rabbit zonker, some sea foam flash, little ice dub for collar instead of fox (don't have white), grizzled hackle and a little partridge for the gill plate

Overall I'm happy for a first attempt.
Staying up all night thinking of bull trout, figured I better get preparing.
