Beautiful fly Mike. Beautifully tied.
I've submitted 2 pictures, pretty good ones I'd say compared to many and am wondering why no votes or average scores when others appear to have better results. Is this a club where "I'll vote for yours if you vote for mine?
Just curious.
I rarely like to eat trout, but those looked really good. Nice concept.
Very nice fly, Glenn! A modern classic. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the set.
It does look pretty great. Duane Vigue has a ton of patterns that used to be posted on his site, but most are gone now. They are all a little tough to tie as well because of the materials and colors usually called for. Some wonderful looking smelts and attractors in there.
Great looking tie! Love the red throat. It pops the fly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You for a very informative site the content of the Fly Tying Videos is excellent, full of techniques and thread control coupled with some very good material control.

Have you tried the double grinner? I'ts very bulky if you don't strip off the fly line coating, and then all most impossible to pull down at the coated and uncoated juncture. If I was going to use the loop system I'd just go with the new molded loop flylines. My concern with a loop to loop system is the leader material cutting through the loop.
I have an old wine cabinet that I put all my hackle and such in. Close the door and it doesn't look like I'm ready for a yard sale. But then you do have to get lucky and be there when someone put one out for the trash.
Sort of like a double grinner knot. i find it easier to make my own loops using thread and superglue, then a rubber glue.
Great page! Few articles of this length contain SO MUCH useful information.
You're welcome. Video is a wonderful tool for us tyers.
This is a haeckof a way to develop such a nice streamer. Really like it.
A nice looking fly ! I have a feeling Pike and Bass will go for it !
A real pretty streamer.
Well done.
Excellent! Where do you find the wing feathers?
… I have a small favor to ask.
