Went to a few garage sales and one country antique/flea market this morning. Spent a whopping $19.75 and came home with some jig tyin goodies. Found the 1/16 horsehead mold at the flea market for 15.00...well 25 but she took my first lowball offer. :icon14: They had some more vintage molds. I...

We had severe storms and heavy rain thursday and friday. Despite the water levels on the lakes being way higher than normal my buddy and I still managed to put some fish in the freezer. Spent the afternoon catching gills and spent a long but fun night catching a few cats. Left the lake this...

I woke up early this morning and headed out to go do some bluegill fishing at a conservation lake close to Jefferson City, MO. I was driving down the highway just enjoying a song on the radio and drove right past my turn off. Long story short I had to make a detour and made a big loop through...

Any of y'all familiar with a pole like this. I don't know much about em. The line runs through the middle of the pole. Found it at a flea market for a couple bucks. Nice addition to my Vintage/antique collection.

I'm starting to work on some trout jigs. Thought I'd share this one from last night. 1/32 #6

I have been fascinated lately with the work of a guy named Fred G. Hannie who ties extremely realistic looking flies. http://www.realisticflytying.net Tried tying something a little more realistic myself last night. Didn't turn out exactly like I hoped but I think its pretty cool looking. Tied...

I stopped by a garage sale yesterday right when they were closing up and got a pretty nice computer desk for free. I Thought well I'd have to do a little rearranging and organizing of my workshop but it would make a great addition to my tying area. Well a "LITTLE" rearranging and organizing...

After several hours of staring at my computer screen editing photos for work I figured the best thing for my tired eyes was to tie up a couple random lil jigs. I only got two done before my eyes started crossing. Both 1/32 #6 Eyes are NP This pink head is one that drooped down while curing...

I cured a small batch of jigs in my toaster oven for fifteen minutes at 350. Jigs were hung on rack. The paint on a few of them sagged down from the head pretty bad. They look like miner heads now. What caused this? Too much paint? Too much heat? Hanging upside down? Combination of all?

These are a few of my first powder painted heads. I really like using powder paint. Once I get some things figured out and fine tuned I am going to Love it!! Couldn't use the heat gun cause it was too late when I got home from work. (Baby and Wife was asleep) I used a small butane torch. Works...

What a fun day! we had a big mother's day gathering at the park with both sides of my family. After a lot of visiting and devouring large quantities of food I grabbed my poles out of the truck and walked down to the lake. Tied on prolly the simplest little jig in my bag. A 1/32 plain lead head...

My best friend surprised me and showed up in town for the weekend. We spent the whole day yesterday at one of our old fishing holes. Strong winds made for some tough fishing but we still managed to put some nice black crappie and gills in our buckets. We ended up cleaning em and having a nice...

Was asked a couple questions about the last turkey jig I posted so I thought I'd just post a quick tutorial. Start your thread like you were tying a basic thread neck jig Choose a feather. I like using the tips of body feathers cause they are the softest. You can also use parts of the tail...

I was given some feathers from a wild Rio Grande turkey earlier in the week. Used the tips of one to tie one up this morning. You cant see it so good in the photo but there is kinda a gold shimmer to part of the feathers. I like it! 1/32#6
