I like that first fly quite a bit. Your Vise is that a cobra? Mine sits on the shelve all the time, I've had 2 pair of jaws explode sending shards of brittle metal at my face. I'm actually afraid of the vise.

Thanks for the fly comment i realy appreaciate it. N yea ive read about that a couple a times ive hade the vise for about a year no now issue but i realy dont like it. They way the jaws poiint up an the actualy clamping part of the vise seems to get in the way if im tying big flys for salt water. So ive been looking into another one.

I notice something particularly different that you did that I have not seen on a frog fly before. You do a great job of simulating that translucent irredescence of the frog skin on the legs. I wonder if that might not be a great strike trigger. It draws attention, and makes the legs stand out and look more biological than most I've seen. I'd like to hear how this fishes for you!

Both look like very nice patterns with all the triggers. I really like them. Although, I don't know if has enough foam to be considered a Foam Frog. :D
