Nice royals, TT.  

I like that Trude style on a salmon hook.  I do well with a winged wet Royal Coachman, who knows what the heck those crazy brook trout think it is.  I would think this one would push a lot of water and also do well.    

Thanks, 
 

The trude is really to big for trout, I tied it just for fun, going to put it in my fishing hat band. 
I have had some success with the smaller Wolffs, the lager size royals I will hang a small dropper behind it.

Married wings can be challenging but yours look good.

Spuddler, v3

Last week I tied up two Spuddlers for the challenge thread.  The more I looked at them, I thought they should be tied bulkier to better represent their intended imitation, a sculpin.  This one's a little better, I think.  Used a larger hook to get more room for the spun head,  changed the order of material tie in a bit, used narrow tinsel for the rib, and a different feather for the wing.   Maybe a bit more bucktail for the under-wing and a longer wing feather next time. 

Happy to hear thoughts and opinions.
