Another streamer, was going for a super flashy cutthroat streamer. In the water it swims really well with the tail moving side to side like crazy and as it is stripped it kinda has the walk the dog action swimming side to side. Hopefully will fool some cutthroat

Bullethead Stone (variation)
Found a video here. Not a huge fan of bulletheads any more because of their tendency to blossom after a fish or two but the segmented body makes for a nice effect. In these colors, this could pass as a golden or short-wing, nocturnal stonefly.
Changed the tying sequence around, spinning the head first; I’ve done enough of these and found, for a neat, proportioned head, mine turn out better when I start with it. Also, if you have any dexterity in your fingers, don’t see a need for a bullethead tool (or having to cut/re-tie in thread - a lot of wasted wraps there).
hook - WFC Model 6 #6
thread - Veevus 8/0 tan
body - 2mm foam tan
wing - Congo Hair Shiner Tan
head/collar - deer hair bleached
legs - medium rubber golden stonefly
indicator - 1mm foam orange
