[cool][#0000ff]Good lookin' stuff. Got a lot of talent in our group. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Interesting to see that you know and appreciate that claret color too. I make some wooly buggers with a claret body and black tail that are killers...especially during low light conditions. They are also a good pattern for walleyes and other predators, for some reason.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the way, in case you have never used the "boss" flies, for salmon, you can make a "Boss Bugger" that works well for steelies, salmon and most species of trout. I like a hot orange body with black hackle and black marabou tail. Sometimes big browns really slam it. Good for cutts too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I just posted something on the Utah board, about the unweighted ice flies I use, "drop shot" style. I'll include the pic here just to keep up with everybody else. These are used more for BDD (bait delivery devices) than as free flung flies.[/#0000ff]
