Another snow day yesterday so I tied a few more lures. I hope the nymph type baits work well, I sure know they look pretty good to me. I'm glad I'm not a fish, I'd be already cooked or on someone's wall.

Those will KILL them gills!
good-looking you should knock the bluegill dead with those.
Mepperson how did you do that brown and yeller one, far right second down. I like it alot, wouldn't mind tying some up this weekend. Yellow, and black always kills the gills :D.
I have yet to see anyone come up with a good snail imitation for the "Crackers"!;)
Good looking jigs and flys, you shouldn't have any problems catching them with those.

GCD, think it's all up to you,go for it.
I have squirrel tail under black chinille, then I tied the yellow in the throat of the hook and ran it straight to the eye and tied again. I hope it holds because it is essentially just tied at the ends.Quote:

Great selection of ties .Top two on the left. Could you share where you got the grub bodies?
I fished down there one time out of Kentucky Lake Beach Resort. Don't quote me on that name, just one of the thousands of resorts.
Note- I'll see if I can find the location of an ole fella that sells big red worms, all kind of bait and birdhouses on a backroad. Real nice feller. I was so impressed with his worms I now raise my own. He would show you how to keep your own worm bed. I'd just love to get back down there someday .
PM me a mail add. and I'll send a couple pinches of ice dub, peacock, black. if you don't have it local. All the advantages of peacock herl in a dub. Thanks for the pictures. ole giller

I'm not picturing it but I may try a little hands on in a few.Quote:

Hope this helps if it does not PM me your phone number and I will call you and try to explain it better.
Sounds like a Bitch Creek nymph weave might want to google it and see if that is the same idea as what he is trying to describe.
Some 'Gills are gonna have to go to the dentist soon! Those are nice.
I googled Bitch Creek Nymph, Thats it.
Good looking gill jigs and flies for sure!
Good job,

That looks good, I'm gonna have to give that a try but I need some more chenille for sure.Quote:
