Throw a couple of 8mm beads between those segments and you have yourself a wicked steak and eggs fly! Nice twist on an articulated fly. Can say I've seen that approach, stacked tubes, but it seems like a great way to go about it. Well done.
Each section alone would make a great little micro flesh fly, which can be deadly at times.

Nice work you guys!
I haven't tied much in the past year. I must not be fishing enough, or not deep enough when I do fish. Plus Coley takes pity on me and sends me flies, so I had enough for all summer, fall, and this coming winter. One of the nice things about fishing with a floating line is that I don't lose too many flies, although a recent summer run ran away with a Muddler, thanks to crummy RIO leader tippet, but that's another subject. One of the downsides to fishing with a floating line is that I don't catch too many fish. Which isn't so much of a downside since WDFW implemented mandatory hatchery steelhead retention on the Cowlitz and other rivers this year, and I really don't want to keep an October summer run. Alas, the season for the Spade and Muddler is coming to a close, and it's time to swing the pretty flies Coley sent and my ties that resemble decorations for a French whorehouse.

Sg I've been catching resident coho and searuns on them. I've been cutting them back a bit but still a little larger then I'd generally fish with for them. The wiggle action is very good. I've really been hoping a blackmouth would jump on one. I do plan to fish tigers and lings more this year and will use something like these. SF

Nice ties Stone. Wish I could find the time to sit down at the vise. I don't see that happening until next winter or maybe beyond that. Booo...

Nice looking stuff there gents.
Vice time has been limited for me this winter as well. I did sit down after getting back from a bahamas trip back in Jan and tie up a few more of the fly I would have liked to have had a lot more of down there. Freestyled a few others, mainly variants of some of Drew Chicone's "essential bonefish patterns." Might be able to manage a pic or two at some point.
Other than those few attempts, my tying table has been more of a yarnball factory than tying table as of late. Kind like my boats (lawn ornaments) and fishing rods (closet space taker uppers).
