    Default Lazy Bumble Bee


    Wanted to tie a Bumble Bee to go with my Wasp, but just got lazy and didn't have a good plan so just made the best of it with this one. Used some new stuff for the legs and what antenna there is, but you can't see it very well, but I think my trying to colors the Yellow bands after tied was trouble too. Also lazy on the wings and just used some winging material for that.

    Probably used too much wing stuff and a sharpie for the eyes is pretty weak, LOL! I bet it will still catch fish though.

    Looks good to me Skip. My friends pond fish would have that torn to rags in no time. The colors work. Fish are dumb. Tie it on and let us know how it goes.

    Some fish will be thinking dinner and become dinner off that bug. Not bad at all for a lazy bumble. After all, how often is it that the lame beat up hald dead looking fly catchies the most fish?!
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
