What to do in the nasty rain

[randybenham]

I decided to take advantage of the rainy weekend. I bought a fly tying kit, and watched the instructional video, and then tried. it. here are the results.

The black / yellow & green yellow are maribou feathers. The white ones are made with bucktail. Hopefully now, I can catch fish on my own homemade jigs. I'm no SKIPTOMYLOU, (www.thumpitjigs.com) but it will be real satisfying if I can catch fish on these homemade babies. I used wahoo fishhead jigs, cut the barb off the jig and painted them with model paint. I used superglue on the thread, so I hope they hold up to some hard thumpin' crappie.
