A couple for this winter

 

[GR8LAKES FLYER]

I like the colours on this one , looks like there would be an endless amount of movement too !!
Did you use arctic fox for the make up of this fly ??
Only thing I would add are JC nails for cheeks ... for me , not the fish :roll:

This would hunt in any river , nice post

Glad you like em Mike. I used Finn. Raccoon, Cashmere goat, arctic fox, a couple wraps of 3 different colors of schlappen and finished off the head with some crosscut rabbit spun in a dubbing loop to get rid of the hide for the head. Whew that was a bit long winded:whoa: I also added some flashabou and angle hair strands with complementing colors ontop of wing. JC would be a nice finishing touch! Happy Holidays!!!

lovely fly
we use in Europe huge amount of hair wing flies however mostly tied on short brass or tungsten tubes with free swinging hook or temple dog style on plastic tubes .
tying on hook is nice but due long shank a lot of fish unhooked during fight
