Another cool fly from Andrew Grillos; good floatation and visibility.  Found a great SBS on Charlie Craven’s site; a few minor changes - swapped out the hackle tail for elk hair and used a single post wing instead of divided; change color and size to suit your needs.

hook - Dai Riki 300 #10
thread - UTC 140 dark brown
tail - elk hair
rib - tying thread
abdomen - dubbing rusty orange
back/head - 1mm foam rust
wing - Congo Hair white
legs - medium rubber brown
hackle - grizzly/brown


Regards,
Scott

Head-on, it reminds me of Eugene the Jeep from Popeye.  If you’re fishing for west slopes on the east slope in MT, you may want some in this color; browns like them, too.

hook - WFC Model 28 #10
thread - UTC 140 fluoro pink
core - 8lb mono
underbody - elk hair
body/head - 1mm foam pink
wing - deer hair
legs - medium rubber grey
indicator - 1mm foam orange


Regards,
Scott

Getting low on blood worms.  Decided to add a translucent bead this time.  Just to be different.  Sorry for the poor quality photo.  Took it with the cell phone.  Didn't feel like breaking out the camera and setting it up.  It's on a #20 3X long shank curved.

Nothing but poppers from me lately,  my dexterity issues prevent me from doing anything that requires fine detail work.   Plus the fish that will hit these aren’t too fussy.
