Hope you are having a good one :icon14: Happy Birthday.

Tied a 1/2 dozen of these Renegades to see how the top water bite may be (when the flood water recede )?? Last year we were 16' low at Hartwell and today the lake had flood warnings so they opened the flood gates. The water hasn't been this level since 1963. So y'all guys out west keep on...

I changed how the jig stands upright using the lead body as the stand instead of using the added piece of 30lb line. Hope you enjoy tying the jig as much as I do. A easy jig to tie that should work with many different fish species. [video=youtube]

Been wanting to tie a fly or jig to use as a grass shrimp on the bottom. Been looking at a few pattens and found one that was a stand up shrimp tied as a fly with added weight. Bought a mold a week or so ago from chill49 with these shrimp in mind, a Larva Tube Jig. I poured some in a 1/32 oz and...

This is a jig tied using a dubbing brush I made. The tool can be seen in the DIY Creations forum. I tying this jig I used green bucktail, barred chart hackle, white goose hackle, copper krystal flash and purple krystal flash in the tail. The body is from the made dubbing brush and the head is a...

Spent some time looking at the dubbing brush tool on the market and thought I could build myself one just as good. So spent a little time in the shop and built one. I still have the finish work to do on it and need to add a little paint but I am happy with the outcome. There will be no end to...

Spent some time at the tying bench today tying a few flies for bream fishing and came up with this nymph that I really think will be a good fly for bream and trout. I guess the best name for it would be a 'Copper Nymph', what y'all think? Tied on a size 12 X2 long nymph hook.

Got on the lake at 2pm to fish for crappie and wasn't disappointed :icon14: Fished the channel edges in 10 to 15' depths, water temp has come up to 75 degrees and the fish are beginning to get in their summer pattern. Been a while since Rosco has been on the boat with me but he still remembers...

Hope all our members made it through the bad storms last night. Thoughts and Prayers are with the ones effected.

Hope this video helps on recessing a jighead for 3D eyes.

I had made an order for some pink and chart eyes a few weeks ago and received them today. They are soft but work very well with a little work. What y'all think.

Got to thinking today that I had never used mallard flank while tying a fly, sooo here are my first two. Think I like em :icon14:

200R size 12 hook uni-thread 8/0 olive Black brass hourglass 3mm purple hackle purple krystal flash Black Senyo's Shaggy dub Black Az simi-seal dub Tie on the thread to the hook point and bring the thread back to within 1/8'' of the hook eye. Tie in the hourglass. Tie in the hackle leaving...

After QK posted about the Senyo's Shaggy dub I ordered 4 different colors. It's not the easiest dubbing to work with but it does make a great finished fly. I ordered some hooks from Green Caddis Outfitters last year and received a e-mail asking for pics of flies tied using their hooks. I came...

This is my Grandson Brandon (1 of 6) and he just turned 11 so I bought him a small starter kit to see if and how he would like tying. We spent a couple of hours yesterday introducing him to all the tools in his kit (traded a few tools out) and started him tying his first jig using hackle. I...

Myself and a friend hit the lake at 7am and this was the first day without wind I remember fishing this year! Water was hard stained and since I left my depth finders at home :@ I had to fish a new place the old way of not knowing the depths and watching the shore line for drops and flats. The...

We been talking about the beads from wholesale fly company and some of their beads seem to have burs and some don't. The ones I received looked good to me so this morning I tied a few to see if I would have any trouble with the thread or materials catching on the beads. I didn't have any...

The wind doesn't seen to stop blowing around here and Sunday I set around haft the day not knowing to go or not, but the fish are wanting to spawn with me there or not so hooked up the boat and me and Rosco hit the lake. Had one in the boat in the first minute of fishing but it wasn't like that...

Robert sent a sample of the Texas Toast chenille to me in the last jig swap and this chenille is awesome! You have many different color combos you could tie with this chenille. Here is the first combo I came up with using the Texas Toast.
