My " Throw Back Thursday " fly this week, Ruth Ann
This is the 1st fly I ever tyed for steelhead and salmon when I was 11 maybe even 12 by then. I had watched guys catching steelhead and salmon on pink lil corkies and red lil corkies with orange or white yarn or even both together so it was a no brainer to come up with this combo. Years later I named after my mom whom bought me my 1st fly tying kit and it just worked so dam good.

Copied the pink fly since it worked for me the other day.
Whatcha going fishing for, @Brute ?
trout...mostly...char as well
Those northerns you were thinking about earlier would like those, too!
Upstream sinker, downstream swinger, in sz. 8 w/ 4.6
Do you have a ring light? I was trying to figure out how you made the eyes but I'm guessing it's a reflection in a round bead?
One of my long time friends grew up in the Driftless area. I love listening to him tell stories about hunting for trout (1950's) there. Can you please share the materials for your ant patterns? Very interesting looking flies./Pat

McPhail’s Coch y Bonddu Muddler (variation II)
A few minor changes to my original attempt; mainly added a shoulder. It was a first fish/first cast fly on a trip I took in August (lost it a few minutes later); most of my muddlers are usually one-offs but I kinda like this one.
hook - WFC Model 21 #6
thread - SemperFli Nano Silk 30d black
tail - yarn golden yellow
butt - Orvis Saltwater thread fluoro orange
rib - small wire hot yellow
body - peacock herl
hackle - grizzly dyed brown
shoulder - pheasant rump
collar/head - deer hair
Regards,
Scott
