Thank John. The brush makes a pretty nice looking jig. I tied in marabou underneath to give it a bit more body and cut down on the amount of brush needed. The Rvrfshr sickle is well hidden in there SF

Nice work guys. Good bad weather hobby.
Bantam looks like you have it down, was watching a vid awhile back w/ A.V. tying up a popsicle like your 1st one. Lots of work in the details to get it just so & still swim right.

When I saw Bantam's bugs, I too thought of the Princess of Chilliwack. Ape likes 'em big.

Lots of steps in all of them... watched a lot of videos and buddies tie some bugs over the summer while out in Westport. Time to test them later this week thru the weekends drop!

I've been digging the bear hair for an underwing type application on intruder style flies. It perks up marabou and softer materials that go over top and adds the appearance of bulk and profile without actually adding too much.

I am always surprised at how a flies profile changes when it hits water and current. Those "big" bugs often turn into medium sized ones and the ones that seem about right out of the water usually turn into smaller and thinner than ideal once wet. The swim test is key.
Looks like you have some rhea, ostrich, couple colors of amherst, and grizzly? What is the darker material around the collar with shorter barbs? Can't tell if it's just darker there due to shadow effect or if you have something palmered in there. Looks nice dude. Toss a wing on the top for some added contrast. A strand or two of something flashy on the lateral line would really set it off. I'd hit it and/or cast it.

The collar is squirrel tail. Ive been using it since last year, I prefer it over bucktail because its less buoyant and water seems to make the squirrel pop and prop the desired materials that need it.
No rhea used in this intruder, mostly ostrich herl. Theres a few strands of dyed peacock tied in reverse in the tail to help prop the ostrich in the tail. This was first of probably many of this pattern. I'll need to see how it swims first before it gets mass produced.

Squrrel. Nice. I picked up a piece of arctic fox and like it or that application as well. Less bulky and easier to work with as compared to deer.

Were you in Poulsbo yesterday BU? You must be talking about the other little short dude. Nice intruder Bantam. Working on getting the fishing room put together, then I am back to tying.

Should be a care package showing up for ya any day Salmo. Nothing fancy, just a few quick and dirty utility baits.

You post three old photos and suddenly think you've earned the right to act as photo nazi? It will take at least three more for you to have earned that role But seriously, how about those pics?

Way to bring it and nice spread. I like that golden pheasant. Have a few tail feathers for wings but they don't work quite as well as turkey.
I like that black goose as well. Pretty classy for a quilbilly.

Macro = magnified or larger than scale. Most halfway decent point and shoots have a macro setting these days, but not all. It's is the button or menu selection that looks like a flower in most instances and macro is definitely handy for close ups of small things.
Captn DR does twist up a good looking bait. I recall an sexy ghost shrimp pattern from a while back I wouldn't mind copying.
