Found two of these dead on the ground at work this morning. Decided to check my home lake to see if any were coming off this evening. No dice there. Get ready, folks, the Hex's are coming!

Got rear-ended today on my way to my night job. Low-speed impact, some damage but nothing really severe. No broken glass, tail lights all work. NO INJURIES!! No airbags deployed. Commerical pickup truck hit me. That business's insurance is taking care of everything. Guy driving the truck...

Mods, if this is not an appropriate place to post, feel free to move it. I couldn't think of a spot. Anyway, earlier this week, I was fishing at one of my little "bait holes", a creek that's just absolutely chock-full of Green Sunnies (at least, it used to be). First night, I was catching...

Last Friday, I went fishing. Managed to bring home some nice catfish as well. Apparently, I brought home something more than some catfish. My vehicle has been smelling like fish for days. Nothing truly rank, more like my cast net being still wet from the shad slime. Which was exactly what I...

Yesterday, I was using one of my surf rods. I was making long-range casts with a 2 oz weighted float, suspending some cut bait about 4' below the surface for catfish. There was NO action at all. After about an hour, I was ready to call it a wash and go to Plan B. I decided to make one more...

Decided to see if the fish still wanted to play. Grabbed my UL rod, 6 lbs test Nanofil, a new Thill spring-clip weighted balsa float, and this jig: Peacock and Starling jig/fly Wicked little 1/80 thing that I tied up a couple months ago. Water conditions are fairly clear water (for...

Did a couple more of those "BlueTreuse" bucktails, but used metallic blue embroidery thread for the neck. 1/16 oz ball heads. Also did something else. I've seen this color combo several times from a few different folks here. Decided to give it my spin. 1/80 head, size 8 sickle hook, Ruby...

1/80th size 8 sickle hook. You can't really see it, but the heads are two-toned, chartreuse and hot pink powder paint. Tail is hot pink and chartreuse fox tail with some pink and chart. krystal flash. Body is chart. ostrich herl with a "skunk" stripe of pink ostrich herl. 1/64 oz. Custom...

1/80th ball head, size 12 sickle hook, Ruby Red powder paint, tail of the jig is UV White fox tail and UV Pearl Midge Flash. Thread Neck is red metallic embroidery thread.

1/80th size 12 with Ruby Slipper in upper right. Lower right is 1/64th, unsure of hook size (purchased locally), with that custom Pumpkin blend you can get the recipe for here. The jigs on the left are 1/80th size 8, chartreuse with Fl. Pink brush tapped on top. Unfortunately, the natural...

1/16 oz Ball Head w/ collar, chartreuse powder paint and blue glitter/clear powder paint mix. Blue over Chartreuse bucktail with krystal flash, metallic red embroidery thread neck.

I realized that the GFA Hoppers, size 8, that I normally fish are just to big for the size of the Bluegills that have been hitting my flies. Tied up some size 14 on TMC 2302 hooks. I added the pink strike indicator, as I was having troubles seeing the hoppers while fishing from my kayak. The bug...

Over a week ago, I finally found some white wool roving at my local Hobby Lobby. Finally got around to doing some wool and satin jigs. I used the Ruby Slipper powder for the heads. The metallic red embroidery yarn matches the stuff perfectly! Also did some grey over white bucktails. I...

So I'm going to give you all a peak at what I did for him. 1/16 oz ball head w/ collar. He said "smoke", this is what I came up with. I actually want to tie some more of these and try them below Keystone Dam for Stripers. Pretty good baitfish imitation. 1/16 oz Walleye Head, painted olive...

With glitter. I tried following AF's advice. Did the first color (chartreuse), some glitter mixed with 200% Clear, then a dip into plain 200% Clear. Looked good before I cured. After I cured, I noticed it had dripped! Most of the glitter flowed down off the head onto collar and/or shank...

I did some larger ones. 1/16th oz, "Dragonfly" powder paint, glow eyes, Green Goblin New Age Chenille, and the tail is peacock blue marabou over chartreuse marabou, with duck flank on the outside and a single strand of red krystal flash.

I'm hoping none of our members were in the path of that thing.

Basically the same as what I posted earlier today, just switched the colors.

After I couldn't catch any Crappie in one of my home lakes, I went to the other one (just 1/4 mile away) and tried to harass some fish there. Ended up catching three Bluegills on the Peacock and Starling micro-jig, under a weighted float.

Size 8 sickle hook with a 1/80th oz head, painted with "Dragonfly" powder paint from CAT. Tail is light blue neck hackle and blue krystal flash. Body is chartreuse ostrich herl. Also took the whole production run outside for a natural-light photo. I think I like these!
