New fly

Here is a new creation.
Help name it.
I think that it may be a crappie catcher.
Sorry, it is a bit fuzzy.

Don't know about a name - but those are some hot lookin' flies.

BIG RED!! even if it isnt all the big

Golden Cyclops Firefly. Ok, maybe thats a bit too long of a name. Those do look nice, I've been trying to come up with a few patterns for crappie, never tried them on a fly rod and may give it a shot this year. Are you somewhere warm enough to give em a test drive? Let us know if you do good with them, I may tie a few of the same! :D

On water is a relative term... hoping to get out this weekend, walk on the water and drill some holes. No I won't give the fly rod a shot yet... Not sure, had the first day above freeze with sunshine in about 2 weeks today, don't know the damage to the ice. More cold air coming so sunday sounds good.

good looking bug,RED ALERT.

Bluegill will love it too nice!!!:D

IMHO, it has potential, but like many "hopefuls", it may not produce to your expectations. Catch something with it, then name it accordingly, but catch something with it first.

Good advise sneakypeat! Meanwhile, would you mind sharing the body material? I'm very much a fan of different ideas.
I have used tiny sparkle jigs in 1/124th and 1/80th oz. nickle heads for deep summer gills and they can be deadly. I used Char.,white, pink and olive. This body shape would fit rigght in with the more favorable true fly hook. Thanks for sharing. Illinoisgiller

Body material is a product called edgebrite. http://store.theflyshop.com/catalog/...oducts_id=6083
Cool stuff, it really lights up.
Here's a better photo.

"HOT MAMA"

Is there a prize for naming hook?

Red Worm Terror. I am gonna have to get my fly rods out when spring comes and give it a try for crappie and panfish. Haven't caught anything else with them so why not.

redrum!

If you don't mind me asking, do you have a materials list?

Tail-orange crystal flash
Body-orange edgebrite
Collar-red/orange mohair
I tie these on a size 8 with an 1/8" brass bead

You can really light these up with a layer of silver foil under the edgebrite

Orange crush
