Crystal Midges. Size 16

I was thinking about painting some pillheads a light blue, then tap some red on the back for gills, and a multi-colored glitter/clear coat, to try and simulate the Redfin minnows here, and do the Stayner Ducktail pattern on that jighead. Well, I thought I had a light-blue PP. I had already...

3xl streamer hooks, size 6. Colors changed to match the Redfin Minnows native to the river I fish. Ones one the right have 8 wraps of .015 lead wire, ones on the left (red heads for easy ID) have 10 wraps of .030 lead wire.

Some more Lightning Bugs. Not a soft hackle, but a regular nymph version. Tied on TMC 5263 size 18 hooks w/ a Tungsten bead.

Tied on size 14 200R hooks. These are for a buddy that supplies me with duck feathers :)

I wanted to do some heavier Marabou Skunks for the river. Painted up some of Plateboater's Pillheads and tied them up. Chartreuse over White: Pink over Black:

I was browsing at Micheal's today. Noticed a Glow Glitter. Didn't get it. Has anyone used it?

As much as I hate to say, in a few days, we will not have internet access at home. There is a VERY good chance that we are moving cross-country in a couple weeks. Once things settle down, and we get back on our feet, I'll be back.

Somewhere on this forum, is a description of a jig pattern that's good for Trout. I finally got around to tying some up. Jigs on the left are 1/32. Jigs on the right are 1/80. Tail is grey squirrel, body is yellow/black varigated chenille. The original pattern called for white/black...

Ok, I got those jigheads I painted yesterday tied up. 1/8 oz Pillhead jig with a custom paint job I did yesterday. Tail is White foxtail with a few wraps of Silver Hackle Flash around the tail. Chenille is New Age "Salt & Pepper". 1/8 oz Pillhead jig with a custom paint job I did...

I kidnapped myself today, and took some of my of my fishing gear with me. First time out in several weeks. I went out below Keystone Dam here in Oklahoma. They're still releasing water through the floodgates. The place was PACKED!! Weekend, go figure. A few people fishing cut bait for cats...

1/16 Pillhead jigs. Pumpkin powder paint head. Olive Wooly Bugger pattern. 1/8 Pillhead jig. Custom Powder paint, White Pearl and Fluorescent Pink, with a custom mix of Pink, Black, and Holographic White glitter tapped on top. Pattern is just like the Wooly Buggers I've been tying lately, but...

Several hours before my appendix decided to start being a pain, I had some ideas for some jigs. I wanted to do some of the Olive Wooly Buggers I had tied up as a jig. I also had an idea for another color scheme from a coworker that likes "pink camo splarkly" jigs. Here's the Olive jigheads...

Last Friday night, as I was going to bed, I started having some pain in my stomach. I'm using to gas pressure, which is what this felt like, but it was in a weird place. I dealt with it as best I could for a couple hours, then called me wife to come and get me. I went to the ER. Come to find...

Did some more for a buddy. These are some Brown WB's. Same size/weight as the Black ones. These are for me :) Both are size 10 streamer hooks. Bead chain eyes, and 10 wraps of .020 lead. One is Black over Olive, the other is Olive over Black.

A buddy of mine here locally is headed over into Smallie territory this weekend. He asked for some flies. I tied up these WB's, all on size 6 hooks. The Olives have bead chain eyes, and 8 wraps of .030 lead behind the eyes. The Black ones have a Tungsten bead head and two wraps of .020 lead...

On the upper left is a size 12, for reference. The three upper right are the size 18 bugs. I have a fourth one on my fly patch on my vest. I managed to catch 8 little Bluegill with that one today. And by little, I mean 4"!! Anyway, the hooks are size 18 scud hooks, the tails are tan/black...

JSC's post in the Saltwater board had a couple people talk about how they liked to cook freshwater Trout. I figured I'd start this thread, to keep from high-jacking the OP's thread. Some of you may know that I cook professionally. I've worked in country clubs, as well as a steak house and a...

A buddy told me that the sunnies are KILLING Chartreuse foam hoppers on one of my home lakes. I didn't have any Chartreuse versions in the size I like to fish now, so I tied up a few, as well as a few in a darker green color with firetiger legs (good match for a local species). Last week, I...

Cats Meow. Size 12 scud hook. I think they look like a Dragonfly nymph.
