Devil Changer, I've trying to come up with a fly that will hang in there with the Nikko Hellgramite. A variation of the Devil's Doorstop. Note: the Nikko Hellgramite is a great gift for your spin fishing friends.2yr ⋅ Paul-273 ⋅ r/flytying

My grass shrimp fly. I used a tungsten belly weight and I like the profile it gave the fly. I have yet to find stripers feeding on shrimp.5yr ⋅ Paul-273 ⋅ r/flytying

Trying to smile on the Oginquit River ME. I caught 9 stripers in an hour, but it was so cold. Wading wet was not working for me that day.5yr ⋅ Paul-273 ⋅ r/flyfishing
A school of McFry. A Christmas gift for my son. This is hands down my most successful pattern. If there are fish around, it never fails. If I entered the one fly contest, this is what I would use.3yr ⋅ Paul-273 ⋅ r/flytying

Swift River midge - size 18 scud hook, 4-5 fibers of marabou palmered up the hook, wire rib and tungsten bead head (optional). The swift river in MA is a tough place to fish.
