I got the idea from the thing-a-ma-jig I tied last week, my buddy saw it when we were fishing and said to me that if the hackle was straight instead of the "hands apart" style it would look sort of like a dobson fly. For those that don't know what a dobson fly is, well it is nothing but a helgramite when they get their wings and they are nasty looking and big. So today I thought I would try to tie something like that and here is the result. The top jig is a 1/8oz weedless ball jig painted watermelon, it has some silver flash, with olive and green bucktail for the body and then light green chartreuse grizzly hackles for the wings and finished off with some black bucktail tied in over top. The bottom jig is also a 1/8oz weeless ball jig but this one is painted black. The body is made of silver flash with black bucktail and then grizzly hackle is tied in for the wings with dark natural bucktail tied over top to finish it off.
