I’ve not heard of it, and can’t find it on google.  This one isn’t my pattern, been out for a while.  But please post a pic or a link to the eel sushi fly.  I’d love to see it?

Please don't put a hook in it or use a barbless so I can remove it from my cheek! mmmmm eel!

Thanks! I got it from J Stockard. It's not great but I found some that was usable.

If my buddies get a teal this season I’ll send you some but it’s not a common bird here.

@niveker Thanks!

Golden Retriever variation, size 10. Variation for me often means I didn't have at least one of the materials called for in the original recipe. In this case, it was almost everything, but the substitutes were close, at least. Had red thread but am getting low, so opted for orange since I have tons of it. No estaz, so made a dubbing loop with tan ice dubbing. No tan marabou for the tail, so used a combo of white and yellow. 

This is a popular pattern in Maine. Looking forward to trying these out tomorrow.

Here are 10 pheasant tails for my first swap.

McDonald’s Westie Muddler (variation)

Tied this a bit fuller than the original because, again, I’m looking to fish this more as a dry. Swapped out deer belly hair for pronghorn which, even though a bit unruly, spins like a dream and is substantial down to the tip.

hook - BVFT Dry #10
thread - Veevus 6/0 black
rib - small wire silver
Tag - dubbing flame 
body - dubbing black
body hackle - furnace
collar/head - pronghorn hair white

Regards,
Scott

Wow, that white is white, "a lighter shade of pale" so to speak. A real good floater and high vis. too. Do you get to fish all the flies you tie? It's a lucky man that gets to fish every fly he ties. Nice tie. Trout and char would chomp that up, up here.

Mark,

Thanks. Any flies I didn’t get to this season (and this was one of them) will make it into the rotation next year.
