Default Homemade flies! What works for you?

This thread is for anyone to post homemade flies that aren't really a "named fly" that they have caught any fish on. So basically a fly that you have made that seemed to work for u but it's not really a fly that you can buy at a local fly shop. It can be any type of fly streamer, dry, etc. Poast away!
Thanks!!!

I used to tie all sorts of named flies and a bunch of my own one of a kind creations.
I cut some hair from my beard and tied a "Duffy's Beard" streamer.

Now I mainly just tie a couple basic fish catchers.

A little lead wire wrapped on the hook then a bit of brown hackle tail and hackle with a peacock hurl body. We used to call it a "brown Hackle" Its my basic weighted nymph.

I make a couple sizes of basically a "muddler minnow" That I fish dry or wet with good success.
