Mostly the same as the OG, but subbing in alpaca for all the dubbing, purple holo tinsel because why not, and dub looped the pink thorax for extra shagginess.

I guess we will find out if chain eyes are enough…

Gotta say really enjoying these bigger flies definitely a change of pace from what I’m used to tying🎣

Several patterns from the past few weeks. As we transition into fall I’ve been going up a size or two and getting a little brighter with the colors in preparation for steelhead.

I’ve also been experimenting with sneaking a second bead into a few of the patterns for some extra weight.

Body is minnow belly ice dub and olive dubbing. Haven’t bought any body wrap or game changer chenille.
