https://scontent-lga1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...06&oe=562AC69ATied some bugs for dropshotting deep summer time bluegill and red ears. They have painted brass heads, micro chenille bodies, rabbit hair tails and frog hair silicone legs on a couple of them. They actually weigh 1/100oz. They are tied on #10 Mustad wet fly hooks. Don't know if they will work but I had a good time this afternoon tying them up. They are also my favorite color for bluegill baits.
They look good.
They gotta work,they are the steelers color:HandsClapping
Bet you tied some winners. My favorite gill colors. I really like 'em spiders too.
Nice work. It is hard to top that color combo for that stile of tye.
They look really good, but I wish that I knew how to find the big ones in summer. I know they go deep, really deep and I don't know where to start. Here I believe they go to 25 to 35 foot water depth, but anything else is a mistry to me.
If you know how to find them please tell!

Them will get the job done. Nice work.
I love those flys !!!! What Is Frog Hair ???
Froghair is a silicone skirt material used for bass spinner baits and jigs.lt is about half the diameter of the regular material making it very well suited for small jigs I think. I believe the company that sells it is called Skirts Unlimited. I originally used it for bass finesse jigs.Quote:

A local Web site called "wired 2 Fish" has a excellent thread on it that includes how to use your electronic to find them. Their article uses live bait but these small jigs work well also. Sometimes I tip jig with half of a Gulp waxie. Google them or check their Facebook page tp read it.
Those are really nice .Quote:

Only time I got lucky in Spring was a long time ago, in the 1970's and we were bass fishing with a soft plastic worm. It had got so the bite was done and we were not getting any bites until we found a spot In 11' or 13' of water around one stick up and they kept eating the tails off. So we ran back to the marina and got some crickets (we always kept some UL rods ready in the boat) and went back. We ended up with 42 and the smallest was 3/4 pound and the biggest was 1 3/4 pounds. These really big bream beds are never in shallow water like the others! I use my electronics to find beds for spring, but this year never got the chance to go try the beds I found in 13' water depth. Now that the Hydrilla has come back a good bit, the beds are probably not findable where the Hydrilla has come back in full force!Quote:
