What's in your vise?

When I see those classy looking steelhead flies with the long black wiry hackles what is that material?

Like this hackle?
Dyed black Heron, or Blue Eared Pheasant.

Yes, thank you.

tiger muskies watch out! working on a few more with this color scheme....probably more in my standard musky style though rather than a simple non-articulated single.

I had some absolutely vicious takes on this style dragon nymph on some central OR lakes last year.
Love the soft hackle wing - might have to give that a try!

I've never had much luck with chum fry patterns (probably because I'm usually still in the mountains when they're most effective) but I just tied up a half dozen of each of these.

And some ADD-style shrimpy bugger things.

A couple Tippet Grubs on Aqua Talon size 6 Comet hooks.

And Kamiakin on a TMC 2032 size 8

throwing together a few extras to hand out at the expo this weekend....it'll mostly be singles, but there may be a few articulated glide baits thrown in. Top is articulated glide, bottom is a single jerk

 

[clarkman]

a few more singles. One of these days I'll learn (for photo purposes only) to wet them down, then let them dry for a more accurate representation of their profile, which will be pretty much tear-drop on all of these....then again, IYKYK.
