Default Lee Wulff Originals?

These flies definitely came from Lee and Joan Wulff, apparently in the
early 1980s.
That doesn't prove Lee actually tied them. But for various reasons I
don't
want to say on usenet, I think these really are Lee Wulff originals.

What's with the head? Why are they so weird? Or is it just me?

.....those are riffle hitch flies. You're supposed to throw an
overhand knot around
the front end of the fly, which causes it to skate across the surface,
planing
against the current. This is an old Atlantic Salmon technique. The
funny looking
rimmed head, behind the eye of the hook, is made that way in order to
keep
the overhand knot from slipping back (or forward) on the shank.
