3 dozen Slump Busters in olive, tan, and chartreuse in 3 different sizes.
A couple days before those was a dozen Black Matukas and a dozen Olive Matukas.

Just figured out how to post pics, so thought I would throw one on here.
Been tying quite a few hairwing Atlantic salmon flies for a bucket list trip to the Margaree River, NS when this Covid thing goes away and I'm not too old to wade anymore.

Time to stop tying and start fishing folks, the local trout lakes are turning on!

Nice colours but way too fat to be chironomids. Think skinny and then even more so!

A lot of pictures I found for this style are just below flush with the bead, tapering down to a single thread wrap on the back side. That's pretty much what this is. It is a little heavier than what I wanted for sure, but not to bad. The red ones I've tied like this have caught fish, I'm hoping these will too. I will try some skinny ones once I get some finer thread.

Fairly basic again, but a new one for me. They were hitting today.

Not sure the actual name but the only fish I caught today was on a commercial tie fly similar to this. Biggest difference is the black and red dubbing and the red thorax.
This is my first fly using Marabou and I found it very easy to deal with, and no dye sins on my fingers. Yet. I'm going to try and make it out tomorrow again, and if I have time, stop and get some smaller hooks. This is a size 12.

Its Drake Time
I love Drake time, this is a nice simple pattern with just Deer hair, a bit of dubbing and some Hackle. I like it as it floats like a cork in the riffles.

Those look pretty cool. I’m going to have to try some of those this winter.
