Nice looking clouser! I'm gonna tie a few of those up.

Only thing I would do different is to tie the white on top as that will be the bottom when the fly is fished.

Here's my contribution - The Wounded Muddler

Hook: Mustad Signature size 6, 4xl
Thread: Camel
Tail: Mottled Turkey
Body: Copper tinsel
Rib: Gold oval tinsel
Bead: Red 6/0 glass
Underwing: Squirrel tail
Wing: Mottled Turkey
Head: Spun deer body hair, Natural, and Copper cone

...Basically a cone head muddler, but with his innards showing....

p.s. this will be my contribution to the baitfish swap as well - two birds, one stone.

Now you have it right! You could also give this a Try... white tied in front of the eyes. This Makes the whole bottom of the fly white. Just keep being creative!

Man, ain't that a good question!

I took me a week to find the hooks I needed for the baitfish swap - everyone was sold out of stainless 4xl hooks. I eventually had to go to That Place to get them. I hate giving my money to those guys, but it was a necessary evil this time. Short answer: Yes.
