Tie up your best and closest imatation to the minnow above. I started this today and have several designs. None of which I am fully satisfied with. Be forewarned if I really like your pattern I will tie it and use it. I will not sell it as I don't commercially tie or sell any of my jigs. Also...

The overnighter started out mighty grim. After getting bait (minnows ) and launching boat motor would not start. Starter problems ( I will never buy another Mercury again ) simple fix but not away from garage. Determined I would use electric motor but it would limit my range . Found drop off...

Son visited from Omaha with wife and granddaughter. Wanted an assortment of jigs framed. They went home today :-( . Pic kinda bad as they getting ready to go and I only had time for a quick shot. He seemed pleased with it what think you all.

Well sort of this dude weighed 14 # and fought like a runaway freight train. He jumped on my little ultralight whilst I was in the middle of some gills. # 12 hook tipped with one maggot makes ya wonder why he bothered with something so small.

Tried tying the Shannon Shiner as per Ohio fly tying site and Lens post. I did not have the Bohemian Chenille to work with so the minnow imitations looked like crap. But I really liked how my leech imitation turned out using the ultra chenille that I use on my worm creations. Tied just like...

While tying my swap #7 jigs I noticed the bluegill larder was lacking a little. Anyway hackle was lying on bench along with some small jig heads. While searching for another material ( a common problem in my messy mancave ) I came across some cactus midge chenille. Took the real short fedders...

I know Russ ( Attica Fish ) likes to stretch the imagination not to mention technique. So heres a little something I brewed up today . Don't know if I will ever tie a bunch of these as it was quite a bit of work and time. Will let fish be judge next time out. I started out trying to imitate an...

Went with Cuzz Butch on all night fishing trip. First fish of night Big Blue gill on medium sized fathead. Shoulda known right then. Tried red head asprin head with sparkle body and white tail. Crappie jump all over it at 6-8 ft but I can't catch them. Feel like rookie fisherman. But hooked ver...

Top one I call " spookie " cause most of it is transparent. Bottom one is one of my many double bunnies

Brewed these up today since temps drove us off the lake yesterday. Wanted to get under bridge for shade and fish but crowd already there. More of same temp wise plus thunderstorm warnings today . Tied mostly with marabou today . Did not want to forget how. Rabbit fur gets most of my attention...

ZZZZZZZZZZZ what going on

Well I don't know how to qualify this trip. Went out for crappie and walleye first couple of spots only produced 2 keeper crappie ( 10" or plus ). Second spot was a total bust. Third spot on Berlin Lake was hit at about 11pm . Soon as I turned the vexilar on I knew I was on something big and...

Last week finally got break in bad weather and went out in boat. Boat motor failed to start but went on trolling motor. Determined later it was bad starter. Three days later starter arrives. Install starter works perfect schedule trip for next day. Motor does not attempt to start again. Switch...

Hope this is in the right forum. In fact it might not be on the right site but here goes. Not every year but more often than not I go off the deep end and am consumed by an aspect of fishing.:idea: One year it was spider rigging , then another year it was the ultra light cycle. This year I...

:trollin: Want to use a couple three of these for crappie fishing. Thought maybe some of you southern fellas might have an odd one or two laying around. I am NOT a collector or resaler so I am not looking for collector items They need to be in workable condition with a reasonable amount of wear...

This was best I can do indoors . Probably have to wait for better weather to get outside pix for better lighting. These look way better in person

Some of my latest creations using the clear cure stuff. The perch looking one is my favorite. The silver headed one is a close second. Like I said before this stuff is fun to play with. So far I like what they call the thin formula best. I am coating over the thread and the heads. Don't know if...

Well not really perfect but hey it grabbed your attention right. Working with new product called " Clear Cure Goo " an ultraviolet cured epoxy. Also used EZ body to give scale effect. I am still in experimental stage with it. Tried perch and dace imitations and just some that exist only in my...

Presently tied up with new experiment. But an imatation of these is what I am going to try next. Great bait in NE Ohio but getting harder and harder to find. Proper common name Redside Dace. As kids we called the red dace and rainbow dace. When in spawning colors they are almost too beautiful to...

The three on right are tied with " Fish Skulls " a new product for me. They are machined out of aluminum and come in Large , Med and small. These are the small sizes on three different style #4 hooks. The other seven are are variations of a pattern I like. Used rabbit ,duck , peacock herl, even...
