I kept trying different things with the Jitterbee and did another bluegill fly in 2 ways and would love to know what you guys think.

ThanksLen and short grub! Len that material is called Dandy Long Legs and is a thin stretchy material. I thought that it would not only be bright, but wiggle a good bit since it's so thin. I just hope it doesn't break too easy. I have had the stuff for a few months and just have not been able to tie stuff like this as I have just been trying to catch up on orders. Thankfully I got a nice order for some flies and I do enjoy tying flies a lot. There is so much you can do and dream up, no limits with how I look at it. I didn't use and dubbing on these, but will on some others I will come up with to finish this one. I have 2 more patterns to come up with and at least one will be a soft hackle fly as I just love sort hackle flies.

Nice flies. I really like the third down fly. Good work Skip :)

Way above average Skip. They all look good in different ways. The leggy chenille and the purple on the top two would be a slam dunk. The red tail bee is going to put lots of fish int the boat. I usually add a spot of red or chart to see what turns their mood around, one or the other always makes a difference. Real nice work.
