Well, what do you do when the power goes out and the house is dark?? Break out the vise and start tying...
A bit of a story here. I was cruising the inter-web awhile back and came across a story of a man named Red Durham who at the time of the writing was in his late 70's (2010). He was an avid fisherman, and lived around the Ohio Pennsylvania line. He had concocted a jig that was made up of materials you don't normally find on jigs. A family simple affair, really, and depending on hook size, 1/16 #4, and 1/32 #8,s caught everything. He vertically jigged primarily, and after many years had became a master of the craft.
The materials he used was raw (washed), wool and strands of satin. That's it besides the jig hook and thread. Well, this peaked my interest, and I had to see it. I, the story there were pictures and it didn't seem too hard to tie. I'm including pictures I took off the computer from the story, and one I tied up while the power was off last night, by flashlight...it's supposed to be a copy of an emerald shiner minnow, or about as close as I could get. The first two pic's are his, and the last one is my first try at it.
Please tell me what you think...Attachment 480031Attachment 480032
