This winter fly is a mix of synthetic and natural. The orange is finn racoon, while the blue is craft fur. The flash is a combination of several colors that were tied over the blue. Duck flank was used for the collar.
The whole fly is around 3 inches long. Which seems to be the length I've been sticking to lately. It is large enough to attract the attention of fish in colored water, but small enough where it doesn't affect my casting in the least bit. There is no weight built into the fly. I can easily pinch some split shot on the leader while at the river.
Ignore the messy head. I've pretty much stopped caring what they look like. As long as the fly holds together, it's all good.
