I've been on a bit of a topwater tube tying binge lately.

A slight variation of the Delia Conehead Squid tied on a tube.
Crosscut bunny instead of marabou for the tail, UV Krystal Flash and a Fishmask tied into the rear third to hold the eyes.

Nice looking squid! But do squid live along the beaches of PS and HC? Or does that even matter.

Sg,
I've seen people foul hook squid as well as squid attacking their flies on Puget Sound beaches. I've never seen it on the canal but don't doubt it could happen there.
Even if squid aren't present, I think cutts and coho are opportunistic enough feeders to inhale one if given the chance.

I was fishing it on the edges this morning.....the edges of ice.
First time I've ever seen the canal frozen. Very strange morning to say the least.
Once the wind started blowing and the tide started moving, it started to break up and it was game on.

Given their locations, I figured them for high tide beaches



I loose very little flies when fishing cutts, since I'm typically fishing out of a boat. My hooks rust up before they get broken off. However, sometimes they do break off to underwater structures like pilings, boat ramps, and submarines. smile

After watching my buddy Tim put on a searun cutthroat clinic this weekend using a Johnson's Beach Fly, I figured I better add some to my box.
Here are a few variations I tied up. Kudos to Les Johnson for developing his Beach Fly.

It;s that time of year again. Too much yarn in my immediate future. Hoping to make time for some feathers at some point.

Can't tie a fly but fortunately for KK it only takes one good hand to smear peanut butter on his balls and waddle out to the goat pen.

Tied Spey fly # 10 last night for a fly swap. I should take a picture of my handiwork. They're nicer flies than what I fish with (except for the flies Coley sent me), incorporating old pre-embargo jungle cock and heron in each.

I've see a few spey ties recently that have used dyed Gadwall flank for the hackle. Anyone ever experiment with these feathers? The barred look is pretty awesome.

I like the color of those Coley.
I've never used Gadwall. I wonder what the difference is between Gadwall and Mallard Flank? Length, stiffness....?

I was wondering if barb/fiber length would be the limiting factor. Not having seen it in person I was hoping that the length might make it to 2/0 or 3/0. probably not eh?

That mallard flank is sticky stuff. Hard to keep separated when you want to. I like the bronze mallard for wings. Fairly easy to work with. Easier than the turkey on Dees. That stuff can be a bitch to get laying right if you botch your first try or two, which I often do.

I've been on a bit of a sculpin tying kick lately.
A little different pattern using yellow polar chenille for the belly.
Should have some decent movement with the bunny and chenille.
Eyes will give it a hook up presentation.
Beta testing hopefully this weekend.
