My favorite fly/jig
I don't have a picture because I have never tied one properly but I love this pattern.
It is called the "bead head rock roller" or "beaded rock roller". Look it up and let me know what you think. I really think it could be an awesome jig in the right colors for crappie and gills.

That is a link to the best pictures I have found for it. If I could actually tie the darn thing I would have many of them for a lot of different species.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
