That was 2 trips to 2 different lakes. The hogs were in 20-25 FOW. The smaller ones varied, we caught them drifting humps and points. All on cut or whole shad.

Last 2 weeks have been good in Texas. The Blues are starting to feed heavy. The big boys went back in the water to catch again, the ones on the table are ready for fish fry.

A friend of mine that does trophy Bluecat trios had a last minute cancellation so my brother and I were forced to go fish with him today. The wind blew like crazy all day but we put 5 fish in the...

Before the drought over the last few years Weatherford was a good crappie lake. Now that it has refilled I have not fished it. I have been thinking of giving it a try this winter.

My first Crappie on a jig I tied myself, 1 month ago.

I'm thinking of making a long weekend trip to Lake Fork early November. Any suggestions on where to fish or stay while there? We used to fish the Birch Creek bridge, not sure if that is a good spot...

Just apply some super glue to the thread on the hook just before you wrap the dubbing loop and it's very strong. You can twist the loop as much or little you want to get the amount of buggy look you...

Here is a step by step that I did the other day.

I have thought about trying to sell some, but I don't mind sharing where I get my materials. Everything used on those (but the jig heads) came from Fly Tyers Dungeon. I'm using their dubbing for...

Lake Tawakoni, Texas April 2017. Sandbass and Catfish trip.

So far I have had very good luck using UV treated materials for my jigs. I try to put at least a little something UV on each one even if its just a few strands of UV flash in the tail.

Worked on some new color combos today. I think they will entice bite for sure.

Here are a few more of my ties.

It was pretty darn windy, couldn't feel or see a bite a lot of the time. Need up with 14 keepers and probably double that we had to let grow up. I caught most of mine on jigs, my brother caught most...

Check out McFly Angler on you tube. He has very good step by step videos. I watch a lot of his, the techniques that are used on a lot of the streamers can be used on jigs to get a bushy/buggy look. I...

You will need natural hair dubbing and little or no weight on the head, More like a wooly bugger fly to get the slow drop or float. The fly fishing shops sell a liquid that is applied to dry flies...

So far I have not used fur dubbing, all I have used is synthetic materials in varied lengths for the look I wanted. I also use some synthetic hair at times for tails. I looked up the rope dubbing...

Most of the dubbing at Fly Tyers Dungeon is less than $1 a bag. A lot of them are UV treated as well. They really glow in the water and under lights at night. If it has Hot in the name it’s UV...

All of these have been working great.

I have started tying my own jigs and have had pretty good luck using them on the 3 trips since I started. I have watched a lot of YouTube on fly tying and have tried to use techniques that I see as...
