That is a very cool Stimulator. What is the tail material?

That is a very cool Stimulator. What is the tail material?

I used the stimulator deer hair from natures spirit in natural for this one. I attached the link for it through j stockard, but they are out, fyi.

Stimulator Deer Hair

The richly colored hair from the backstrip or mid- to late-season deer is just right for Stimis. When stacked, the barring is amazingly beautiful. Just the right stiffness and compression.

That is definitely some great looking deer hair.

How do you like that Peak Vise? I have been looking at them for some time. Thought about adding one to my collection of regal medallions, and Stonfo Kaiman and Transformer.

A few Rat Mice

My first ever fly, did my own take on a wooly bugger.. not even sure if I used the right material. The head is a mess, but we will see if it catches fish. You can roast me all you want.

Looks better than my first fly!

Looks better than my first fly!

Great first attempt and it will catch fish. Make sure you save it to compare with the 500th fly you tie. It's fun to look back at all the progress.

I've been tying some Flashback Pheasant tails in size 18, 2x. The tails are too long for my taste, but it doesn't seem to matter to the fish. I added a bit of a dun color hackle for a little more movement. I'm going to tie more with some Hungarian partridge hackle, too. They've been working for me lately.

It doesn't matter what you think the fly looks like. It matters greatly what the trout think it looks like.
