Nice ties!  I've got an army of X-mas trees and muddlers myself.  I should tie up some more coho buggers.  Now that the cat is out of the bag - I prefer my flies to be on the sparse side.  This is esp. critical during low or clear water conditions, and even applies to springs and chum as well.  Of course, if the water colours up, I move up to a heavier dressed fly.

...and nice Hardy there Rp3.  Looks like the Bougle?  Right now I've got the Ultralight 8/9 and Ultralight LA 7/8 ready to go on my salmon fly rods.  Good reels, except while fishing for pinks back in 09 the reel handle on my ULA fell off, which made for interesting times trying to land fish! Didn't expect that from a Hardy reel!  :D

nice flies spey, that beadless blue muddler kills out there, also the beaded olive one (top left) i've been getting hits on as well.... the beadless version works great too.

man i should get into tying since i've been looking for an olive/blue beaded and beadless muddler combo for ages something with a blue neck and olive feather (and reverse) if someone feels like tying me a few i'd be willing to pay :) all you tieguys PM ME! hehe
