I tie them both ways, but found no real difference in catch rate.

Kept the wing case but dropped the legs.

I tie a lot of mine on size 16 or 18 scud hooks, too. I just tie on a pheasant tail, wind pheasant tail for the body and gold wire for the ribbing. I finish by tying on a piece or 2 of peacock herl, or dub with synthetic peacock herl. I guess it's sort of a guide's kind of tie.

Still trying (and failing) for pike. Moved a big fish way up in the weeds Friday - just moved in the opposite direction of my fly 🤣

Tying some weedless meat with bucktail and maybe caribou in hopes I get a few more tin boat days in.

More of the same that I've been on: weedless Deceiver vibes with some Bob Pop hollow fly influence on the body. 4/0, coming in about 6 inches.

Might have to wait for spring on these. Got out in the boat today looking for pike, but the 10 day forecast doesn't have another day that hits 40.
