Sorry for the photography - heat's out in my shop, so I'm tying at a temporary desk in the house.

The eyes are little metal bells that should rattle nicely when bounced.
Tungsten bead at tail.

Is that Pinocchio holding the fly?

One more steelhead stripper. Man, I feel like the camera on my phone just isn't quite as good as it used to be.. ...well, my background and lack of tripod sucks too...

GITD fly.



Now something really dirty, recycled an old hootchie to make a "flure"
Love the pointed taper of the tentacles, action is way better than your standard fly tying rubber legs.




I believe jasmillo has something to share with the class as well, would you like to share @jasmillo ?

Finally a use for the tiny beads I bought.

An attempt at a ghost shrimp that can be thrown on a 3wt.

Seems to be enough resin to keep the hook up when dropped in a cup of water.

Make a good sand crab pattern also. That’s juicy.
