Third of the trio

Nice hat-trick, like the hackle wound through the thorax style.  Shame about the bourbon, though.

Nice touch with the grizzly hackle, how do you tie those in?  Vertical and on top of the shank, then pull back the bucktail? 

It would make a great yellow perch pattern with a little bit of olive and yellow bucktail, or even as tied.

Thanks, but nope, that's just guard hairs... and pic taken on my "cheap" phone (hard to believe that $250 is cheap)

And I'm viewing it on my tiny phone. Very nice ties anyways.

Thunder Creek Salt Mackerel after seeing the heads Norm made with UV I can never go back to lacquer, or Sally's. I don't know why I resisted this it is faster, more economical, maybe more durable (not bluefish tested) and looks wonderful.

Hook- Mustad 34011, thread- red, body- pearl braid, wing/head tied thunder creek style- two blue grizzly saddle tips/ pearl krystal flash with blue bucktail top and white bucktail bottom/ UV coated head with Sally yellow and black painted eyes.
