    Default fly patterns on a jig head


    Wondering if anyone has tried tying fly patterns on a jig head? Would be a lit of work just to lose them to a stump but might be real fun. I have a ton of different stuff now...more than I'll ever use and think I;ll try this one.Name:  silver-doctor-001.jpg

    They are always tough to loose but fish'em. You did a beautiful job on that one for sure.

    It would cost to much per jig to lose first cast in brush.....

    Some of those fancy feathers are expensive!

    Ya. I didn't make that one but will try when I get home in June. My wife and I live in St Lucia West Indies now but love crappie fishing. I bought out a collection from a fly fishermen and have a ton of stuff. Sold some and got my money back. Was home in Ohio for 7 months after Covid started and got hooked on tying. But want to try something different so been watching tying videos for different flies and want to try them on jig heads. Still collecting....its an addiction now. Selling rabbit strips to pay for my habit.

    Should work. A jigheads is just bigger than a thread or bead head. If you have the materials it would be fun to try.

    I use fly patterns a good bit in my jig tying when I experiment. At least I sue to fly tying materials in my jig tying at times, like a nail from a Jungle Cock cape on each side for eyes.
    I also tie some flies and will fish with fly rod for Bluegill or what ever will hit when I want to have fun.

    Skip, do you think it makes a difference to add the extra? I know crappie are not trout but I have to believe that they are not just stupid fish that eat anything. Or maybe they are?
    Like that jungle cock.

    Thank you guys!

    Ksnouf I am not sure about that, have even wanted to experiment with jigs like I tie and leave the flash off. I use to catch bigger crappie every year for like 10 years at least one 17” or larger. Have caught some close since I started using flash, but no 17” or larger. Don’t know yet if that makes a difference or not. Seems just trying different things is a good thing to do and see. I would think there are some types we are not tying that will work very well.

    I am big on experimenting!

    Yeh. I'm with you. Tail and chenille, bit of flash....gets old fast. Works...but who knows what may be better
