I'm the person who's flies are in the picture. They were my first using a Owner mosquito hook ( drop-shot hook) since with the demand of a longer fly was requested I have gone other directions with stinger hooks (longer shank) for a 4-1/4 in fly. I tie an Alewife, Blue Back herring, Spot tail, and Thread fin shad. have done custom work for local area guides many hours of field testing with great results...especially if you fish highly pressured lakes!
