Just asking a question.  Unfortunately my camera cannot focus close enough to be useful.

Here are some pictures (copied from the Fly Anglers On-line site, "Lakes and Stillwaters" feature).  The first shows a Blond Stayner,

and here's what the author named as the Stayner Ducktail.   They are both Stayner's, just color variations of the same pattern.  The Blond variation uses a variegated (or mixed) yellow/dark olive chenille with a wood duck dyed mallard feather wing and the original used only dark olive chenille with an undyed mallard feather wing (per this article).  Also, there can be many other color variations just by modifying the color/color mix of the chenille and wing.  I do know that color variation can be apparent due to the camera and the lighting used when the picture is taken.  That was why I asked, that's all.

To see the original article with the pictures - Fly Anglers OnLine, Your Complete Internet Flyfishing Resource. and just put "Stayner" in the search field.

Not terribly different than the pass lake depending on who's version you're looking at.

It's duck season. No it's pike season.

This full size duckling is tied on an 11/0 Hook with deer belly hair and felt feet and bill. It only took me three hours to tie it but I'd love to catch a huge pike on it.

Careful Mark or they'll be calling you a quack, lol. Novel idea. Hope it works for you.

More from my attempts at SBPratt flies.

I modified one of the muddlers with weight.  I had planned to take it out on Mother's day but couldn't find it in my box, only to realize I had left in in my vise.  I think this will work well  to target some aggressive brookies that can't get a hold of my larger squirrel tail buggers.

And a stab at the Penny Muddler from January. Both Sz 10.

Nice. Where is all the glue? I'd have ruined it by Schmearing goo all over it, that's talking like I could've tied it in the first place.
