@gadabout and @cphubert I enjoyed the Oatman streamers. Good tying.  

Here is a Grizzly Wulff per the recipe in the book of fly patterns by Eric Leiser.  I did use Cree in place of grizzly as I have a much better saddle of that.  

next one up is the Muddler Mayfly

Great looking Wulff.  Looks true to its name.  I can see Lee Wulff in-hand tying one of these.

I haven’t tied much this summer so I will take the Muddler Mayfly this fall.

MUDDLER MAYFLY, Feather bender style

Hook - Mustad size 10 3XL

Thread - Olive 6/0 Uni

Tail - Moose.body hair

Wing - Mallard flank

Body - Moose mane, 1 black 2 brown/cream

Hackle - Grizzly

Wing - Deer body hair

on the first one I didn’t like the head. On the 2nd one I didn’t like the length of the over wing. But I think I like them both. 

Next fly and sticking with the Feather bender - Wally Wing Hatch Matcher.
