A little tying today

Dong a little knee recovery today and decided to do a little tying...1/48th Oz little that is. Mostly squirell tail and threw in some white fox tail for belly on 4 of them. Hope the fishes like them...Attachment 461157

Those will work. Hope the knee gets better soon.

I hope so too...I just have to remember it's not as good as it once was. Working on this wood floor and all the up and down...well it takes it's toll, even with the hard shell padded knee pads, it's the stress of lifting my body weight to stand.

Nice work

Very nice ties.

Those will work fine Eric. Same color red squirrel I use sometimes. Try something, and you know I use as small as I can get. Stack the tips of the hair some and shorten the tail to about half the length of the jig. That stopped a lot of my dry hits. If they hit it, it’s too late for them. I can smell the bluegill sammiches already.

And let us know about the white bellies, I like the idea.

Those look great:ThumbsUp

Thank you Tim, I appreciate the critique, and will apply it on my next batch I tie. I will for sure let you know about those with the white bellies. Supposed to storm around here the next couple of days, and momma sayin' the fish population in the freezer is getting slim, so I'll be going pretty soon for sure...Thanks again. Eric.

Good looking stuff !
I know where some feeshes are that would like to eat those !

A good soaking in SlabSauce won’t hurt either. Great tes Eric.

Very nice, Eric. Your eye surgery allowed you to do close work again.:ThumbsUp

That’s the ticket Eric, looks good. Your fish will tell you how to adjust. If I use any flash, it’s just a couple of strands at the most. Thicker may work where you are but thin like you tied I what I carry. Now they just need to be wet. Good luck when you get to go.Attachment 461206
These are from a while back, like a couple of years. They’re a bit thicker than I tie now. The left one is just about right.
1/43 with #8 hook and various colors of micro chenille. Crackers like the yellow chenille and dark tail.
