On the Vise: Tying up some Meat!

I went off script, and worked on tying up some articulated streamers last weekend. I didn't have a pattern to imitate or really anything except an image in my head of some type of small bait fish that might attract a spawning brown.  It took me a few attempts to get something resembling what I had in my mind.  This was the first time I had ever tried to stack deer hair, and I have to admit, I love this stuff.  I can't wait to tie up some more and give them a go with the eight weight this fall.  And no, the golf balls are not part of fly!  I wanted to use them to show the length and proportions of the flies.
