Just messing around with some fake quills today

To me this don't look right. Looks to me like you need to put down a base color of thread 1st. Does anyone else use these and what do you do?

Either do a light colored thread base and then take a darker colored sharpie on top, then wrap quill.

Or take the sharpie and darken the quill edge before wrapping

The only plan I had when I started was dark, use some bunny, not too heavy. So black and brown marabou tail, mottled chenille body, black bunny zonker, olive schlappen collar, black nickel cone.

A couple more, these are more in the tool fly realm with the 4mm bead, but I also typically only fish unweighted dropped off of this, unless I'm fishing a tag above it...really depends on the water.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Daydreaming about central BC

Although it’s possible I fish them locally before the next trip north.

Golden Olive River Muddler

Although the #10s work on (comparatively) larger water, tied on a bigger hook and with the barn owl head, these float well and push a bit more water.

hook - WFC Model 21 #6
thread - SemperFli Nano Silk 30d black
tail - pheasant neck feather
rib - small wire gold
body - hare’s ear dyed golden yellow (1 Tbsp Rit Golden Yellow/1 cup water)/Starburst dubbing olive
hackle - ginger
shoulder - pheasant body feather
collar/head - deer hair

Scott

My first try at a Glen Grant. This one has always been extremely fishy to me. Thank you for looking. Hope everyone has a good week.

Like that October Bird of Prey, that's been a good fall fly for me.

For me as well. I’ve also had a lot of success with it during high water in the spring.

A couple euphausiids and amphipods to fish slow on a floater for searun cutts now that the small winter game has begun.
