Might make a trip for steel later this year, and if I do, I fully intend to swing flies the entire time.
Thus, im working on a few classic steelhead patterns, all tied on size 3 Blue Heron (not Chris) hooks. Hair wings are silver fox (natural or dyed black), as calf/squirrel tail are too short for these hooks.

I've more to add to them to fill a clip box, but this is the start of it.

Really good looking flys Eunan. Especially like the coal car.

Very nice. :)
I always enjoy looking at your ties. As I have said in the past, they are works of art.
Thanks for sharing them.

As Wheff stated, your ties are works of art. I always enjoy your posts and share them with my wife. She doesn't get the whole fly-fishing thing, but admires your bench work.

Keep them coming, Please!
 
Really nice. I love those PNW classics.
 
Like the Winter's Hope. Prior to my first foray for steelhead I tied a bunch of polar shrimp and green butt skunks up. Fished them with no success. If you get to fish any of these I'd love to hear if they produce.
