I lied. Had to tie another dozen of these for a friend.
Eraser Scud Olive Dk

Trying something with the lighting. Less of a rim light and I diffused the main light more.
More documentary style, less dramatic.

Any chance you could do a SBS for the scud Kimo, would like to try it, it'll never be as good as yours but gotta start somewhere

Brook Trout size 6

 

This imitation of a small brook trout was originated by the famous angler Lew Oatman, of Shushan , New York, for use in waters where large brook trout are accustomed to feed on small ones. The fly has had outstanding success, especially in Quebec and in California lakes where eastern brook trout were planted. It is also effective for rainbow trout and other species. Lew Oatman came up with other famous streamer patterns in the 1950's. He died that same decade. He's known for the tapered bodies on his streamer patterns.

I do a lot more reading than posting but I wanted to share something new I came up with that has been working very well on sunfish and spotted bass in the local creeks and rivers in North Texas. I call it the Ten Mile Creek Critter since that is the creek it was first fished on. Here is an olive version and a brown version.

 

Materials used:

Hook: Size 14 jig hook
Weight: 3 mm slotted tungsten bead
Thread: 10/0
Ribbing: Chartreuse or Olive ultrawire
Body: Sculpin Golden Brown or Damselfly Olive Whitlock's SLF Dubbing
Hotspot: Burnt Orange Haretron Dubbing or Shrimp Pink Sow/Scud Dubbing
Rubber Legs - Root Beer or Olive Micro Grizzly
Tail: Whiting Coq de Leon

Edit: not sure how to post the pics bigger, but hopefully these work.

Mckinney, on the post, you have "thumbnails". When clicked on, they ARE larger pictures.

 

Kimo, as usual, those scuds you make!

Thanks feckineejit

 

The wing has two grizzly hackles on the inside, with an olive green feather on either side of that. The green hackles are painted with three alternating small red and yellow dots. You can't see one set of them since the JC eye is covering them up.

Mark

Kimo, that macro + photostacking really brings it to a new level.
