This challenge will cause a “buzz” on more than a few vises. It’s my favorite color combo for crappie and panfish and an old time choice of popper colors for bass fly fishermen.

I'm hoping to try this one soon. Realized last night I didn't have any black or yellow jig heads...lol. Sort of need one of them for this one.

Well I believe I could have done this different at the start and could make a bee instead of a wasp. I will just show the Wasp I did probably 10 years ago now, lol! IO do also have a Bee fly that I did long ago that I will show.

Sweet! But do bees fly upside down?[emoji3]

I love the wings and the peppered green head. Did you mix that or tap black over the green to get the effect?

I tapped chart over the black, I got to thinking about the wings too after the fact that it would be upside down, lol
