we used to buy these from a company called "four rivers" . they were located in greenwood or Greenville ,Ms. It is a sinking wet fly . Betts makes one ,but it has a feather and in my opinion it takes forever to make it sink .four rivers went out of business so we resort to having one of my former players tie these .Quote:

That's a fun way to catch them. You should make a tumbling style fish scaler
I know you are right . I scale them then fillet . Got them so used to no bones eating crappie that they balk at anything else . I like the skin left on .:twocentsQuote:

thanks for the pic, definately a winner there.
One of our buddies made one and we used it last year and it worked fine. He simply made a barrel or drum from a thin sheet of metal, I think it was a/c duct work material. Punch a bunch of holes in it so it is jagged on the inside, and he had a pipe running through the center that the drum rotated on. The pipe had holes for water to squirt from and it was powered by an old garage door motor so it turned slowly. You put about 25 inside turn the water and power on, by the time you drink a cold beer the are clean as a whistleQuote:
