Rainy day grinding away at the vice

Bored - twisted a few up for some field trails
Standard Borski Butterfly
Materials Used
Hook: Mustad 34007 size 2 - hook eye bent 45 degrees
Thread: Flat waxed nylon - color dependent
Tail: Select Craft fur - color your choice
Body: .020 leaded laid even with barb point on shank and laid on top of hook shaft to 2/3 the eye and doubled back to where you started.
Add dubbing over lead and wrap
Collar: Strung neck hackle or schlappen feathers - color your choice
Weed Guard: 30-pound mono - optional
Tan w/ crystal body
Brown w/ orange dubbing body
Electric butterfly - used chenille for the dubbing
Electric butterfly - used chenille for the dubbing and schlappen - was going for more of a hermit crab look
Easy Sculpin - looking for something to mimic a oysterfish
Black on Black with some silver chenille
Chartreuse on green with a splash of marabou
Recipe can be found here - I used a dubbing loop and craft fur vice the EP brush....I actually made a thin dubbing loop of craft fur and palmered it across the chenille to fill in the body to get that tapered minnow look and then filled the head. I added lead under the chenille for weight and used a 34011 Mustad long shank hook.
