Random quote: A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

The "Silent But Deadly"... biggest ones I've made so far. Built on solid wire and weighted throughout to be balanced and have a horizontal fall like a fly but heavy enough to cast on the big stuff. One 2/0 treble in the back and a single 3/0 octopus hook on a snap near the head that can be easily adjusted or removed. 9" long to the treble & about 13 or 14" long total.

The jig is some clatterino type. Built a wire harness to attach line to jig and eliminate the weak point of just blade attached to jig and line.

Looks like you banged out some nice ones. As for the fall, you might try to weight them forward so they fall head-first. It gives the fly more life as it bends and twists on the downfall, rather than a flat sink. At least my preference is for the head-first fall, the joy of tying is building your own action to suit your tastes.

Good job. They look great.
