I didn't have a specific fly in mind when I tied in the woodduck flank wing. Then I kind of went off the rails. What do you think? Maybe an Invaria?

In north eastern Maine there is a warm water fishery called Tomah Stream. I fished it as a young boy, with my Dad, and a guide in a huge square end canoe. I remember catching many pickeral and smallmouth on white bucktails.

Thanks guys, I was apprehensive about starting fly tying and spending the money as I didn’t know if I could do it and if so, be any good at it. I don’t have any depth perception and sometimes I must standup and look down at the hook to see where things are or where I am putting things on the hook. Also my old eye is not as good as it was when I was much younger.

If you buy a vise that is rotational you won't have to stand up to look down at the fly. Just rotate the head of the vise towards you. You can then see the top, far side, and bottom.
