The guts make it work.

There are occasions when I see a fly and think, "Now THAT design will catch fish for sure",  this is one of those.  Very VERY nice concept and design.  Congrats!

It's a crappie killer.

Nice flies and vise!  That looks like the Orvis edition HMH Standard?

Loch Ba Muddler (variation)

Nothing special about the fly, a pretty basic muddler (here’s the video if you’re interested) but it gave me a chance to try out the winging stuff from the Dungeon; has the same texture as Kreinik Flash-in-a-Tube but a hell of a lot cheaper.  Note that all you Kreelex tiers.

hook - WFC Model 6 #6
thread - UTC 140 tan
tail - bronze mallard
rib - small tinsel gold
body - Ice Dub Hare’s Ear tan
wing - FTD Northern Lights gold/brown
collar/head - deer hair

Regards,
Scott

Okay, tied this to send in to the Mayfly swap they've got going on. Not in the swap but just sent some extras since I was tying them. Emerger with CDC collar and Wally Wings.

A very cool fly and video from David Downie.  May try to scale it down to a #14 and tie it in orange as a LaFontaine Buzzball companion.

hook - BVFT Dry #10
thread - UTC 140 black
breathers - Congo Hair white
rib - medium tinsel opal
body - dubbing fiery brown
collar/head - deer hair

Regards,
Scott

I really like it. It does look like a crappie killer.

This is a dry fly I saw Davie McPhail tie on a video last spring. It’s the famous “Waterhen bloa” tied as a dry fly. i liked it and gave it a go and not always with flies that I tie I stilled liked it after I tied it.lol

The longish chamois looking strip on the tail probably doesn't hurt, either, if that is indeed what the material is.  When wet, it has a texture and action like none other.
