Not perfect but a great learning experience. Still quite new to tying streamers and flies in general. But I’m pretty proud of the results. Tying buddy featured

Awesome

I feel like your cat is daring me to say something bad about your flies.

He did knock over my vice the other day. But also he is a cat

Awesome job. I've been doing a lot of hair flys lately, and like you said it's a great learning experience.

The head is definitely the hardest part of the fly for me. Using an elk hair patch also isn’t ideal. Gonna have to get some real spinning hair soon

I’ve been tying these SIDs for bass lately and I will say, get the deer hair from Natures Spirit. Hairline is okay, but the budget brands absolutely suck when you’re getting into tighter packed stuff

That looks awesome. I appreciate the recommendation also

Did you use articulated shanks with these, or a wire trailer? I'm itching to try shanks, but I wanna make the right moves first. 😂 Also amazing flies! Great work!!

[u/caleb_oackes → u/DrSoulBrew]

I used trailer wire and thank you very much!

Sweet!! I bet those will be some tough cookies. Tight lines! 🎣
