I woke up at 3:00am ... with a headache and stuffed sinuses. Took some Ibruprofen, but was wide awake.

So, I tied another baby fish.

Went back to sleep ... but I still feel like crap. I hope I'm not catching something. I won't be going anywhere today, just in case.

Those look great Mike.

Papa,

I like both, but, if I had to choose only one, it would be number 2.

Bimini that's kind of the way i'm leaning too. Cheaper feathers, a little more bulk which i like and i think it's more appealing to the eye, even though it doesn't mean anything :)

 

Wow! Great new idea. Kinda need real high quality feathers for the eel effect. Thanks for sharing.

To get the best from the top pattern, you need good quality feathers. The saddles i used is from Whiting. The bottom pattern can be tied with cheaper feathers, and they still fish very well. The olive neck is a Feathermaster which i believe i also produced by whiting, and the grizzly is an A. Jensen but i don't know who produced it. I've tied the bottom pattern with cheap chinese necks also, and it is probably the fly i have caught most fish on.
