Hey fellas! Long time, no see... Been crazy busy with jobs and kids, and haven't checked in here in awhile. Caught a pile of gills this spring out of the new kayak, disappeared into the mountains a month ago and caught a few trout.... Brookies, rainbows, and the prize.... goldens. Gearing up...

Tied up a few of Crazy Angler's 1/48-oz mean minners for a couple guys... I am gonna need to make some for myself!

Recently had an order for some 1/64-oz jigs that I was excited about. Nickel plated heads, hackle tails, palmered hackle body... I really like how these turned out!

I finally threw together a Facebook page for my jigs and flies... nothing fancy just yet, but I plan to add to it quite often. Get on Facebook and look up Lights Out Jigs and Flies. Not as fancy as some folks, but tied as tough as I can make 'em and priced right. When you can fish the same jig...

Finished up this selection of 1/32-oz crappie jigs this afternoon. Most are on #8 sickle hooks. Wish I could find more heads with the #8 hook. These things looked SWEET! Most of my bread and butter color combos. What y'all think? These are headed east in the morning...

I haven't posted any pics for awhile..... but here is an old standby I am tying by the dozens right now. Terrible pic, because it was 11:00 at night and was on my cell phone, but you get the idea. 1/16-oz, ruby slipper pp, white hackle with pearl k-flash, as fancy chenille.

"It's not what you know, it's who you know...." I sent a guy a couple dozen crappie jigs last spring. He put a whuppin on the fish and loves the jigs. He is very well networked in the outdoors industry on Facebook. So he posts up last week and gives me some props.... I hadn't tied a jig in at...

I'm on the hunt for bright chartreuse Congo hair or something similar. Also think I need bright pink and maybe yellow. I've got duck feathers, a few types of yarn, foam, spinner bait skirt material, round rubber, I can tie you flies...... let me know what you might be interested in and we can...

Tied my first flies in probably 2+ months tonight. I knocked out two dozen soft hackles in about an hour and twenty minutes. Not too shabby for taking some time off!

Spent Christmas eve morning with a very good friend and a buddy of his hunting ducks. We shot a 3-man limit of mallards, plus a wigeon and a specklebelly in under 2 hours. It was chilly, snowing just a little, foggy, and we had an open, shallow spot in the river that the birds wanted to be in...

Been doing some research the past year or so on a small local lake... not fishing all the time, as much as scouting things out, waiting for water levels and temps to be right. This lake has a lot of small, private docks that are allowed to be fished by the public unless in direct use of the dock...

DOVE SEASON! :icon14::icon14::icon14: Picked up my HIP stamp this morning, threw a few boxes of shells in the bucket with the mojo doves, just have to put fresh batteries in the mojos and wipe down the twice shooter and I will be ready!

Got permission on a new spot... a guy dad works with has two 3-4 acre ponds right behind his house. Huge deer hunter, and just fishes for something to do. Beautiful place. They do nothing but fish minnows, from the sound of it. Pond has gills, hybrid gills, crappie, catfish, and bass. We were...

Placed an order around 7pm Thursday night from Robert at Crazy Angler.... and not necessarily just a few items. Sitting in the mail today, Monday.... yep. You have got a loyal customer here, my friend! Good quality stuff as always.

Dad and I didn't get to the lake until late morning, we have gotten a bunch of rain and the lake is up 2 feet since a week ago, and it was supposed to be windy. Not exactly ideal for filling up the fish basket or getting dad a bunch of fly rod experience. First spot, casting right into the...

Took dad out again today. Struck out along the face of the dam for whites and crappie. In the process, lost two nice Thill slip bobbers because I hung my jig up in the rocks. Told dad screw it, let's go to the smaller county lake. Ended up dipping a brush pile first and caught a few small gills...

Dad and I took a little fishing trip this afternoon.... found me a new gill spot! Couple Christmas trees played over in 3-4 fow , next to a nice weed line, about 30 feet from deeper water..... in the shade in the afternoon. First cast after I found the weed line: Put three fat ones in the...

This is my first go at painting and tying my own spinners.... some are 1/32 and some 1/16 I believe.

.....and other things with spinners molded in. What a HUGE P.I.T.A. these are to foil up and prep to paint!!!! I have gotten a few in swaps and such from a couple awesome guys here, and finally got around to wanting to tie them up. Wow!

A friend opens up the trunk of his car and gives you a big lead plumbing trap! He totally made my night.... gonna have to get into this pouring my own game. Big jigs aren't cheap to buy in bulk.
