Last year I had some great action with these hunting mackerel

Body: UNI-Mylar #10 Gold/Silver

A quick and nice pattern tied primarily for salt, but will work just fine in a river targeting trout and grayling. Testing out different tag colors to see how they turn out.
Green Guinea streamer
Hook: Allen SW002 #6
Thread:UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: 2x Green Guinea feathers
Body: Red floss
Collar: 2x Green Guinea feathers
The inspiration came from flytyingforum.com where someone posted a fly with guinea tail and collar. Could maybe a have cut down on the length and amount, but I will test this in the sea this weekend to see how it flows.

Thread:UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: Orange Goose Shoulder Orange
Body: UNI-Mylar #10, UNI-French Oval Md Silver
Wing: Peacock Sword, Blue Bucktail
Beard: White Bucktail, Orange Goose Shoulder

Got a shipment of these long streamer hooks from Allen Flyfishing the other day and freestyled this long streamer. First time I’ve tied on a hook this long and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out: long, slim and with a distinct trigger color on the beard and tail.
Salt Freestyle Fly
Thread:UNI 6/0 Black
Tag: Red Floss

Planning to head out to do some sea-trout fishing this weekend and sat down to tie up something new to bring along with the tested ones I have in my box. This is one of those that are inspired by everything and nothing.
