Got tired of cutting slips over the weekend and tied these instead…
As always, PEACH.
Very nice and the pics are outstanding
Those look really neat, and will definitely catch fish!
Beautiful flies; something about up-eyed hooks that makes them look so classy.

Scott is right about the up-eyed hooks. And those flies DO look good.
Thanks for sharing.

would these catch small-mouths in lakes using a sinking line maybe??
Yes, definitely, though they’re really in their element in moving water.
Also, thanks go out to all who’ve responded so far for their kind words. These are all tied on Mustad 36890 #6 hooks.
may i ask…what is your favorite body of water in PA…?
Give me a small trout stream in the Laurel Highlands of SW PA any day. Doesn’t matter which one.
Great ties, love 'em. 
Nice Mark I’m getting back into doing some streamers myself… And your wets are giving me the itch to do more of those too
Those look like they should be in a showcase!
Very nice!
Very nice. I really like your choice of colour combination. And, the wings are not too thick but sparse, so they will give great action. Very nice floss work too.

I myself, never cuaght anything on a blue fly but damn, don’t that one look good!
Beautiful ties. I love classic Bucktails.
Thanks, everyone! I’m glad people are enjoying seeing my ties. Dan J, blue, oddly enough, is a go-to color for me. A blue and white streamer is one of my favorite bass flies, and a blue glo-bug was my number 1 producer for Erie steelhead this fall, beating out more popular pinks, oranges, and cream.
Hi,
And one of my go-to flies is a spider tied with royal blue floss body with a starling hackle. I call it a “Dark Betty” as it’s a darker version of what I call a “Betty Blue” (lighter sky blue body with snipe hackle: a pattern I was introduced to by Betty Hiner from FAOL). I think the Dark Betty is taken as a blue bottle.

I have a few of those on the magnetic strips at my tying bench! Never knew they had a name.
Here’s 2 more I tied up during the game. Tried making the heads a bit neater. As always, PEACH:
Cold,
Do you ever fish the “Little J”?
