Thanks guys, I had to post that one, My buddy fishs trout exclusively almost and thinks some of my creations are off the deepend. I tell him if thats where the fish are then thats where my flys are goinI'll have him on to pike this year hopefully. Between what I tied and swaped I have a suitcase full of pike flys for spring.

Is that an Eagle Claw? I've tied several different hair bugs on those short shanked hooks. Try putting a sequin on the front. The action in the water, and the way it POPS is incredible. Cool fly.
nope it's a mustad 2/0 stainless saltwater hook. I'll have to try that secuin idea next time.

That looks a lot like a patter by Lou Tabory called the Tabory Slabside. It is designed to fished with a sinking line, so that it bobs up and down as you strip it in. Besides creating a wide profile, the tall and slim deer hair head makes it wobble some like a wounded fish. You don't want it to wobble too much, of course, but some instability is good.
