back on the bugs

still love tying big deer hair flies for pike here's the latest ties from today I've started tying the bugs on orvis 6/0 pike/muskie hooks I'm finding these a fantastic strong but sharp hook with plenty of shank room for the head but leaving enough clearance at the back for easy hooking ....enjoy
