Fishhead, it's like a Breadcrust/Flymph pattern. Nice combination. This has lots of potential for variations. Especially if you're combining effects to match bugs/stages. It's interesting.

Great flies I especially like the second one!!
The first one would be a hit around here for the little yellow stone hatch.

Both are great flies, but that 2d one really catches my eye. Very well tied.
