I’m liking the black hare’s ear.  Very fishy looking.  Thanks for the feedback.

DFoster - nice creative use of the hare’s mask. Looks like they would be great to fish. 
 

JQ- beautiful deer hair work 

Thanks Musky, but I don’t know how creative I was. They are basically just Hare’s ear nymphs tied in black instead of natural with some legs added in. They are fish catchers for sure.

Very nice Johnny.... We use Muddler variations in the backcountry - but much bigger in size, starting with a size #1... Pretty sure that bug will catch  fish worldwide in different sizes (and colors as well..
