    Default Put these flies on the jig board, but would love to hear what you guys have to say


    I have only half of what I am tying for a guy that wants some flies for blue gills. I am thinking I could also put these under a bobber for a spinning rig?

    Here is the 8 with some that I changed up as I moved through them.

    Thanks Dr. John I appreciate that.

    rsab, the ones on the left are a copy or my version of what is called a Jitterbee and the top one is it and the 3 below are versions I put something hot on them to draw strikes.

    Here is where I saw them recently, had seen them before, but got a reminder on the jig board.

    I just like them and had an order for some crappie & BlueGill flies and for the Blue Gills these seemed to be something that should work. I will put them on a couple of fly boards I visit and see what they say.

    Thanks,

    I didn't have one until a few years back and once I got into tying flies too it was an easy step to a fly rod. I bought my first one from walmart for like $20 for the entire rig. Needless to say it's not much so I then got a really nice rig from Cabela's and have been wanting to crappie fish with it in the spring when they are shallow, but the last couple years out lake and the water has not let them really get shallow for one reason or another. So I wait and keep saying next year. I can use it on gills though and lots of fun.
