    Default Bluegill fry


    I haven't posted any of my work for quite a while, no particular reason. This is one that worked for me on some river channel ledges last year about this time om=n into spring. I really have no idea why it works as good as it did except that it may resemble a bluegill fry that shows up around this time of year. It's an eighth of an ounce and this time I flattened the head in a machine vise to cut the water a little better than the ball heads do. Extra select craft fur in Orangutan rust this year, but used tan last year and will mix colors on some in the future. A little flash to set it off and it's ready to fish. The orange head is a sixteenth and will be a second offering on the line at some point. Our ledges are grabby and these get hung so don't get too involved in eyes and such but they would look good to us #2 on the big one and I think a #6 on the small. Thanks for looking....Skeet.

    Very Nice - Just ordered some of that Orangutan rust and it really does look nice!! Also found some of the old Targus Brand (Doug's Bugs) not me!!LOL That's really nice craft fur and comes on a 10 x 5 patch. 5 colors in the Targus and 7 in the Hairline, course the wife will make me wait till Christmas but that's okay.

    Now I just got to get my butt in gear and make something!!!!!! Been in a slump since June and with the cold coming I need get back at it, buying but not making.

    Very nice ties. Be sure to make some room in the freezer before you try them out.
