Ol'blue, apologies, just saw your question, unfortunately as with many of the flies I tie they have no known name, I'm sure they resemble some named flies somewhere, however most of the flies I tie I've not thought of a name for them. Most of the time they are experimental patterns I've fished locally that have been productive.
I guess the Subsurface is based upon a Crazy Charlie type pattern tied with Mohair leech yarn, this has done really well on crappie and Gills this year... I guess maybe Mohair Charlie?
The foam surface fly was inspired by a foam stimulator, its been doing nicely for me on larger gills, Small mouth, and a few northerns. honestly at a loss for a name.
The patterns may, or may not be close copies of something I've seen around the net. I would not intentionally not give credit, unfortunately sometimes it is difficult to determine what is original or simply an assemblage of flies seen else-where.
