I think you’ve done a good job here. Tying Classic’s is an adventure for sure and in general, for me I’ve developed a keener eye when tying. Learning how to apply multiple materials with minimal wraps, proportions and thread control become critical. Definitely a learning curve

Nicely done ✅

Getting tuned up with the hair, my last challenge thread with the whit bug got me going. Saw this pattern somewhere out there, anyway thought it’d be fun to tie. Have it weighted at bend, hoping it “sits up”on water Hook: Ahrex Predator 2/0 or any Stinger Thread: Semperfli 200 denier Tail : Crystal flash and Hen cape feathers Body: Stacked deer hair ( dyed belly hair) Eyes: 6 mm plastic

Had a great trip, double digit Steelhead. Fished Erie PA tribes IMG_0666.mov

HA!

Those are Dailed In! Very nice indeed

Unfortunately the head cement leached into materials so “ tuning” cheeks was impossible

Next up Undertaker

I saw someone already tied this in the December page, I think he should post it here but if no one is taking it I’ll give it a go , best I could do with materials on hand

Right up my alley but I’m fishing till Saturday

Tried another Classic, not the best, I generally like a more pronounced shoulder, just rusty, been busy with Steelhead flies .

Nice

Nice to see you back at it

Nice, what did it take?

Sad to hear this, Mike has left his mark on our community and wish him the best as well

If no one is moving on this, I’ll grab Turks Tarantula

All responses are right on. laying down wraps b4 tying in hair is a good start

Definitely like the head, Mike is a micro guy on many of his stuff

WHOA

I have never fished the moorish, true be told, I seem to fish one or two times a year and Steelhead is my passion

Have tied many

That’s a junior fugly, the original is too big for my hands and believe it’s over kill. Love the bobbin, burned through one, second has held up fine, thanks for the comment

No one game for a critter fly? I can try a mouse, or mouse rat?

You got it!
