What's in your vise?

What hook is that?
Firehole 419. Bought a couple packs a few years ago and haven't been tying as much trout stuff lately so still had some lying around.

Others I've found that look similar:
Kona BDF: https://flyfishsd.com/products/kona-bdf-dry-fly-barbless-hooks-30-pack
Kingfisher House Brand Barbless: https://kingfisherflyshop.com/kingfisher-fly-fishing-standard-dry-fly-hook-barbless/

100 hooks for $10 for the Kingfisher. Not totally outside the realm of possibility that they are the same hooks from the same overseas factory tbh.

Nice. Reminds me of the “Paintbrush” steelhead pattern by Bill McMillan.

Just a test tie so I skipped the flash and hackle from the original; may add a pheasant rump shoulder under the wing or leave it as-is.

hook - WFC Model 10 #8
thread - SemperFli 8/0 hot orange
core - 12lb mono
underbody - elk hair
body - 1mm foam orange (oak furniture marker; top only)
thorax - UV-X ET dubbing bright orange
head/feelers - 2mm foam tan
wing - deer hair

Regards,
Scott
