I love tying classic steelhead flies.
What's in your vise?

Those will kill in the salt for Cutts and rezzies
That's the plan minus the killing part.
Those look fishy as heck.

I do something similar, I use rabbit fur in a dubbing loop to make the head

These two did well but the bottom one as lame as it looks has accounted for a great number of fish, my very most successful tie.

Sometimes it’s the odd thing you didn’t do on the rest that works…I used to pour my own resin heads for big game trolling lures many years ago in HI; I had inadvertently drilled the center hole a bit off center by mistake…it was one of my best producing lures ever…

Thats why if you look at a bulk bin of corkies or spin-n-glos they are all drilled off center
Exactly. The other day, the one with soft hackle and brown w/green sparkle chenille outproduced the light olive with pheasant hackle, about 5 to one. Sometimes it's the other way around!
that has smallies written all over it!
Trio of Trash Pandas.
A couple of changes, I made them closer to 5" and I made sure that there were more guard hairs in the tail. Since they're pretty stiff, it'll help make the overall action a little more erratic while the I'll still get the excellent movement of the soft fibers.

playing around with smallie popper ideas. I'll see how this looks over the weekend. I can always flip the cork around (it's drilled out and slid down on the tippet), remove it for an articulated streamer, or just cut off the front shank for one of my stripped down versions of the trash panda baitfish pattern.
