A very simple jig (I like simple ;) ) Mixing Protec Gloss Black and Harbor Freight Matte Black for a simi-gloss that kinda matches the black craft fur on a 1/8th oz walleye head, extra select craft fur in black and black crosscut bunny...

Stopped in a Harbor Freight Friday. Just started playing with the mixes today. Weird....used the same cure temp and time I have used for hundreds and got my first drips in a long time with the Pinks. I need to rework my lighting. Colors aren't as good in the pictures, but the olive is a...

After 16 years of marriage and tying flys and jigs since before we started dating, the wife just admitted she has had an opossum coat that she has not worn since the 80's! She won't even pull it out to let me look at it! :huh: I wonder how long the hair is? How dark is the hair? Did they tan...

I have a friend/customer that is retiring. He lives and fishes the Juniata from a jon boat north of Carlisle PA. I would like to the some jigs for him as a retirement present. Anyone familiar with the river and can make suggestions? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Bo

Every now and then I think about thinning and shaping craft fur. Flat scissors don't provide the desired effect. Has anyone used "thinning scissors"? Pleased? URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/BoG_photos/media/image-16.jpg.html][/URL]

This spring my buddies and I fished Holston Lake in Tennessee. Water was 4 ft high and the only really consistent way to catch smallmouth I understand second hand from locals was with small 1/16 or 1/32 dressed jigs tipped with "minners". They would cast directly at the bluff sitting in about...

At a neighbor's today teaching his 10 year old to tie jigs, another neighbor stopped by and said "I have a big heavy brick of lead if you want it". Turns out it is 25.5 lbs. what he wants in exchange is 2 of my best bucktail jigs. He says he wouldn't even fish them but thought it was a...

All this mallard flank tying going on had me at the vice this afternoon. Mallard over olive craft fur. 1/16th oz #4 painted in the 4:1 Watermelon/white mix tapped with watermelon. URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/BoG_photos/media/image-17.jpg.html][/URL] I keep waiting on this wind to die...

Simple jigs that catch fish but not necessarily pretty and don't take a lot of time to do. I had a guide tell me his goal on his "guide flies" was to be able to tie in 90 seconds. While it takes me more than 90 seconds it is a simple fish catching jig that doesn't take a lot of time because I...

A good friend fishes for Walleye on Lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota. He says any color will work as long as it is Purple! 3/8 oz Style H Junebug tapped on top of Alwife solid paint Purple over Violet bucktail with purple Krystal Flash.

Stopped at Joanne's Fabric store today to get some "Tear Mender" leather and fabric adhesive. Please don't tell my wife but I could spend over an hour in there! :blush: This is my attempt at the double bunny...I like it! Picture didn't come out the right color. This is all white. 1/8 oz...

Was trying to figure out what to do with heads painted with New Penny. All are 1/16th and #4. Top one is Grizzly Marabou Golden Brown and Opalescent Root Beer Estaz. Bottom Left is Mallard Flank Wood Duck and Medium Ginger chenille. Bottom right is Pheasant Body feathers and Peacock Herl...

Good Morning Everyone. I started digging through my books over the weekend. Converting the Skip Morris SMP Fly to a jig.... 1/16th Head with #4 Aberdeen Hook Flax Waxed Nylon Thread for body Copper Wire Marabou Wing

I am spending way too much time looking at all the great stuff y"all have created. Actually got out of bed to try this! Overall color is a 3 parts watermelon and 1 part white + sprinkled watermelon on top. Bo

I have been loving all the hair jig y'all tie. My first attempt using crosscut bunny...on the brown/rust I added a "scent pad" of chenille if you want to add scent and keep it off the hair (don't know, just a thought). Left ones are 1/16th and other four are 1/8th all with #2 hooks...

URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/BoG_photos/media/image-6.jpg.html][/URL] I need to get better at pictures but I think I like it. 3/8 Head painted with New Penny topped in Black. 3/0 Mustad Blend of equal parts Orange and Yellow Bucktail topped with Brown. Bo

Top four rows color over white, bottom four color over pearl. (Top view and side views of same colors.) Red, Black, Chartreuse, New Penny (top two) Alewife, Junebug, Candy Blue, Pumpkin (next two)

I forgot I had this...probably already on here but thought I would share. The hard hook part of stick on Velcro top and bottom allows the hooks to slide in and out easily but also holds them enough for painting. Whole piece will hold about 70 1/16th oz jigs for painting.

Browsing all of the great stuff on this site inspired me to break out the jig molds and tying stuff that has been collecting dust. Thanks to all. Bo
