What is your favorite mayfly jig pattern? What do you use for the tail and wings? I use a foam and stamp cutter for the wings but have seen other methods.:)

I tie 1 using pheasnt tail, for the tail and back, and use tan chennille for the body, and use a pumpkin head. On either a 1/80 or 1/64 oz. head.
Have caught gills, yellow perch and crappie on it.
Sounds interesting but what does a Mayfly jig look like??
I guess it's a mayfly on a jighead.
I tie mayfly...flies. But not on jigs. I do tie some light bug looking jigs though for bream.
Heres mine
VERY NICE !!! did you tie that for trout or what ?Quote:

I used to freguent the realastic fly tyers website before it went down and thoses guys are great at tying realistic looking flies for display. Some tied semi realistic flies for fishing though. I wish there website was up and running again.
