I still have a box of Mustad hooks purchased from Eylers a few decades ago!

I think we get a little weird sometimes with our naming of our flies. I do not mean this to be disparaging, but to me, that is a woolly bugger....

Very interesting. That's something I've never tied or fished.

Lefty’s Deceiver tied as a shad imitation on a size 4 Gamakatsu B10S hook. Hoping to stick a Snakehead with it somewhere in the Lower Susquehanna drainage this season.

Is that going into the Streamer Swap #2???

Not this particular fly, but I did finish up all of my deceivers for Streamer swap #2. I’ll probably put them in the mail to you tomorrow, Jim. They are tied on the same hook and are the same size streamer as the one shown above. The swap flies are tied in chartruese over white. (The way Lefty liked ‘em)!

It's been one of those nights. 😳
5-6 dozen or so flies and the train has officially gone off the tracks. 😂

A little something extra for the folks in Streamer Swap #2.
A size 6 Bleeding Minnow.
Polar fiber is very interesting to work with!

Just playing around at the vise tonight. A Mickey Finn pattern for native brookies tied on an old size 12 Mustad 79580 hook. The wings are made out of the fuzzy fibers off of the bottom of strung saddle hackle feathers.

I went to a weird brewery fly tying competition tonight. It was fun as a spectator, but I didn't feel like jostling to tie publicly in very limited space. Drank beers and then came home to tie rando stuff:
#16 hot spot pheasant tail, #12 pinko sighter Adams, #16 CDC caddis

Quick question and it just kinda jumped out at me in your pictures....is that a Griffin vise you're using?
If you don't mind a little suggestion....if that thing works the way I think, and has an adjustment for angle on your jaws you might be better served by making a steeper angle to the hook.
It will allow the bend of your hook and your materials to clear the flat better and you won't have to clamp them so deeply. This is especially helpful for smaller hooks and patterns.
Check out how steeply the angle of the jaws are set on a vise like the Renzetti traveler.....
Anyway just thinking out loud, if you're happy and comfy with the way it's working by all means , carry on. 😁 Nice flies.
